HC Deb 29 May 1968 vol 765 cc225-6W
72. Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what is the approximate cost of the provision by the animal breeding centre at Porton, of sets of twin rats, 19 days old, every Wednesday morning to research workers at the university of Oxford.

Mr. J. Morris

Pairs of female rats from the same litter are supplied to the Nuffield Department of Clinical Medicine at the Radclifie Infirmary, Oxford, not to the university, at a charge of 11s. per pair plus packing and carriage.

My hon. Friend is mistaken in attributing such a degree of precision to this operation. The rats are not necessarily 19 days old—21–28 days is normal—and they are not supplied every Wednesday.
