§ Mr. GROVESasked the Home Secretary whether he will consider issuing the Home Office Return of Experiments on Living Animals in the larger form at the price of 1s. 3d, as well as in the abridged form at 9d., as many people are desirous of obtaining the extra information that was contained in the larger publication?
§ Sir J. GILMOURThe form of this return was reviewed a few years ago in connection with measures taken to reduce expenditure on Government publications. It was found that by the omission of a long table giving the analysis of experiments performed by each licensee a considerable saving could, be effected both in the preparation of the return and its printing. This accounts for the reduction in price. I regret that on grounds of economy I cannot give effect to the hon. Member's suggestion.
