HC Deb 01 November 1949 vol 469 c40W
Mr. Viant

asked the Minister of Health to what extent his regulations make it compulsory to kill any animal used for the manufacture of vaccine lymph before the lymph is collected from the sores produced on the skin of the animal.

Mr. Bevan

The Therapeutic Substances (Amendment) Regulations, 1944, require that immediately before the vaccinal material is collected the animal shall be killed.
