International action on bullet experiments

Summary

Andrews asked whether international conventions could be used to oppose such experiments abroad and requested inquiries and action by the Foreign Affairs Minister; Barry agreed to make inquiries.

Is there any convention to which this country is a party where concern could be activated about the type of situation that is envisaged? We are concerned with the human and animal aspects of this. Could pressure be brought to bear on any convention to prevent this type of barbarity occurring in the United Kingdom and in other countries?

The Deputy is raising another question.

Could the Parliamentary Secretary inquire from his officials into the background of this type of operation, and could he get the Minister for Foreign Affairs to do something about it at international level?

I will make those inquiries.
