HC Deb 28 February 1983 vol 38 cc3-4W
Mr. Thomas Cox

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list the institutes in which animal experimentation is taking place.

Mr. Mellor

In view of the number of threats to and violent attacks upon persons believed to be involved in animal experimentation it would not be in the public interest to make available the names of the 527 places currently registered under the Cruelty to Animals Act 1876 for the performance of experiments.
