Reasons licence applications remain pending
Barry said the three pending applications were being reviewed for originality, the applicant’s qualifications and additional project information; licences were not issued at random.
Would the Parliamentary Secretary expand somewhat on the latter part of that question? Were any of these applications rejected as having no relevance to the alleviation of suffering or the prolonging or saving of life and, if so, what number?
Comment on this
Of the three under consideration one case is being examined to ascertain whether or not the proposed research is original. The qualification of the second applicant for the proposed experiment is being examined. In the third case the additional information regarding the proposed project is being sought from the applicant. The Deputy can take it that those licences are not issued at random.
