HC Deb 07 April 1987 vol 114 cc127-8W
Mr. McTaggart

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list in the Official Report how many establishments are registered for the purposes of experiments of a non-medical nature using animals.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

There are some 450 establishments at which licensed experimentation involving animals is carried out. Our records do not distinguish between extablishments on the basis of the nature of the experimental work they carry out.
