I read with interest that the number of procedures conducted on animals in
Britain rose in 1998 for the first time since 1976 (31 July, p 5).

That’ll be apart from 1996 (2 709 631 in 1995; 2 716 587 in 1996), 1994 (2
827 745 in 1993; 2 842 361 in 1994) and 1991 (3 207 094 in 1990; 3 242 449 in
1991), I suppose.
