HC Deb 09 May 1984 vol 59 c388W
Mr.Murphy

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he expects to be in a position to make a statement on the proposal for Government financial assistance for the fund for the replacement of animals in medical experiments.

Mr.Mellor

Further information is awaited from the fund and, in the light of this, a decision will be reached, and a statement made, as soon as possible. I am most sympathetic to the proposal that the Government should assist FRAME in its valuable work.
