§ Mr. Viantasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many visits were paid by inspectors under the 70W Cruelty to Animals Act, 1876, to places registered for experiments on living animals during the year 1947; and why only 439 out of 459 of the places on the register were visited during the year.
§ Mr. EdeThe inspectors paid 880 visits during 1947, including some visits to places applying for registration. The 20 places not visited were ones where so little work was in progress that the inspectors' time was better used elsewhere.
