§ Mr. GROVESasked the Home Secretary the number of experiments upon living animals, performed for the year ended 31st December, 1932.; and whether, in future, he can make arrangements to expedite the publication of the annual statements referring thereto?
§ Sir J. GILMOURThe number of experiments performed during the year 1932 was 589,154. The preparation of this return involves a considerable amount of labour after the individual returns from the licensees are received, and I can assure the hon. Member that there is no avoidable delay in publication.
