HC Deb 06 December 1926 vol 200 cc1684-5W
Sir R. GOWER

asked the Home Secretary the number of dogs which have been used for vivisectional experiments at physiological schools in the London Metropolitan area during the past 12 months?

Captain HACKING

Since the 1st January of this year, 823 dogs have been used for experimental purposes in premises within the London area which are registered under the Act. All but a very few of the animals were kept under complete anæsthesia during the whole time of the experiment and were destroyed before recovering from the anæsthesia.
