HC Deb 18 July 1947 vol 440 c83W
Mr. Viant

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether the cats to be used for tests with streptomycin, on behalf of the Medical Research Council, will be allowed to recover from the effects of the anæsthetic, in order that the result of the experiment may be seen.

Mr. Ede

In the tests to which I think my hon. Friend refers, the cats are not allowed to recover from the anæsthetic; but it is not accurate to describe these tests as being carried out on behalf of the Medical Research Council.
