HC Deb 14 July 1993 vol 228 c494W
Dr. Lynne Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many times Home Office animals inspectors have visited the university of Glasgow since the Animals (Science Procedures) Act 1986 was passed; and what action, if any, arose from such inspections.

Mr. Charles Wardle

Between 1 January 1989 and 12 July 1993, 294 visits were made to the university of Glasgow. Each visit is likely to have involved visits to several individual university departments. Prior to 1989. departmental visits were counted separately: 232 such visits were made in the period 1 January 1987 to 31 December 1988.

It is not the practice to give information about the findings and resultant actions, if any, arising from routine visits of inspection.
