§ Mr. GROVESasked the Home Secretary whether he will arrange that in the list of places licensed for vivisection for the year 1934 the names of companies owning such places shall be set out and the actual identity of ownership of places licensed for vivisection be given; and whether places licensed for vivisection can be grouped into categories according to the class of work carried on in them?
§ Sir J. GILMOURThe person or body controlling the places registered under the Cruelty to Animals Act, 1876, for the performance therein of experiments on living animals can in most cases be gathered from the registered description given in Table I of the annual return. I will arrange that this shall be shown in all cases in the next issue of the return. I am advised that in view of the variety of the research work carried out at the respective laboratories, it is impracticable to group the registered places into categories according to the kind of work done in them.
