HC Deb 03 December 1964 vol 703 c105W
53. Mr. Pounder

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he is aware that some domestic animals which are stolen are sold to vivisection experimental establishments; and what steps he intends to take to end this practice.

Mr. George Thomas

I understand that allegations that cats and dogs are sometimes stolen and sold to laboratories have been brought to the attention of the Departmental Committee on Experiments on Animals. The Committee is studying the quest on of the supply of experimental animals amongst other matters.
