HC Deb 26 January 1967 vol 739 c318W
37. Mr. Burden

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps have now been taken to increase the inspectorate to ensure the proper control of laboratories engaged in research in which animals are used.

Miss Bacon

As an interim measure the complement has been increased by two and appointments willl be made as soon as possible. The question whether there should be some further strengthening of the inspectorate is being examined.
