HC Deb 17 April 1946 vol 421 cc465-6W
Mr. Medlieott

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what action was taken in regard to the foul irregularities which were reported by the inspectors under the Cruelty to Animals Act during the year 1945.

Mr. Ede

In two cases assurances were obtained from the authority responsible for the laboratory where the experiments were performed that greater care would be taken to ensure that the requirements of the Act are fully observed. In the third case the licence holder was warned that he must take greater care in future. In the fourth case the experiments were stopped.
