HC Deb 10 December 1964 vol 703 cc222-3W
74. Mr. Pounder

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will take steps to increase substantially the number of Ministry inspectors attached to centres where vivisection experiments are conducted.

Mr. George Thomas

My right hon. Friend proposes to await the Report of the Departmental Committee on Experiments on Animals before considering the need for a further increase in the inspectorate.
