HC Deb 27 October 1976 vol 918 cc213-4W
Mr. Litterick

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many hamsters, horses, asses, mules, dogs, cats, rats, mice and birds, respectively, were killed in the course of experiments conducted within the terms of the Cruelty to Animals Act 1876 during the last complete year for which this information is available.

Dr. Summerskill

I regret that this information is not at present available; but it is hoped that the review we are conducting of our annual return should in due course make it possible to give figures of this kind.
