§ Sir R. GOWERasked the Minister of Agriculture what was the nature of the research work begun in the United States, and continued in this country, on the dog permitted to be quarantined at the Royal Maternity and Women's Hospital, Glasgow, during the past year; by whom such research work was conducted; the time of its duration; and whether any pain or suffering was caused to the dog thereby?
§ Sir J. SIMONI have been asked to reply. I find that no experiment has been made on the dog since its arrival in the United Kingdom, and, as the hon. Member is aware, I have no jurisdiction as regards experiments performed outside the United Kingdom.
