HC Deb 24 April 1969 vol 782 c112W
55. Mr. Wall

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if, in view of their special position as household pets, he will introduce legislation to limit the experiments which may be permitted to be performed making use of cats and dogs.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

Restrictions on experiments on cats and dogs are already imposed by Section 5 of the Cruelty to Animals Act, 1876.
