HC Deb 02 June 1965 vol 713 c235W
Mr. Woodhouse

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department in how many experiments on animals in the last completed twelve-month period the stereotoxic instrument was used; in how many laboratories it is in use; and whether it is ever used without an anaesthetic.

Mr. George Thomas

I regret that information about the number of experiments and the number of registered laboratories in which stereotaxic instruments are used is not available. No authority has been given for surgical experiments using such an instrument without an anaesthetic.
