HC Deb 28 June 1983 vol 44 c54W
Mr. Greenway

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he has any plans to repeal or amend the Cruelty to Animals Act 1876; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Mellor

The White Paper "Scientific Procedures on Living Animals" (Cmnd. 8883) published on 12 May, contains proposals for replacing the 1876 Act which it is the Government's intention to implement as soon as parliamentary time permits.
