HC Deb 29 November 1955 vol 546 cc177-8W
Mr. Viant

asked the President of the Board of Trade how many firms, laboratories, or individuals in Britain have received licences this year from the Government to import monkeys for the purpose of medical research or for the manufacture of poliomyelitis vaccine.

Mr. P. Thorneycroft

Live animals other than hourses and cattle are admissible from all countries under the open general licence and importers do not require an individual licence from the Board of Trade.
