§ Mr. Grovesasked the Home Secretary whether any licensees under the Act 39 and 40 Vict., cap. 77, have been reported by the inspectors as contravening the terms of their respective licences at any time during 1937; if so, what was the nature of such irregularities, at which registered places did they occur, and at what dates?
§ Sir S. HoareThree irregularities have been reported by the inspectors during 1937. In one case reported on the 25th February a licensee holding a certificate "B" had performed several experiments in excess of the number authorised: in two cases reported on the 28th June and the 5th July respectively licensees holding certificates "B" had performed operations, in one case removal of the pituitary gland and in the other partial splenectomy, not authorised by their certificates. Each of these cases was2678W reviewed and it was decided that the circumstances were not such as to call for the institution of proceedings against those responsible. It would be contrary to the established practice to furnish information as to the registered places at which the irregularities occurred.
