§ Sir R. Russellasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what improvements in the treatment of diseases of horses have resulted from experiments on live horses and mares in the last five years.
§ Mrs. ThatcherNo experiments on live horses or mares are being carried out in Government laboratories. I understand that the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food has conducted an experiment on ringworm in Army horses in the course of the last five years, but the result was inconclusive.
