HC Deb 22 November 1938 vol 341 c1547W
Mr. Groves

asked the Minister of Health why no information is now furnished in the annual reports of the Chief Medical Officer of Health of his Department in regard to the vaccinal condition of the smallpox cases and deaths occurring in this country; and whether he will arrange for the information in question to be supplied in future?

Mr. Elliot

The collection of information regarding the vaccinal condition of smallpox cases was abandoned some years ago as it was then considered unnecessary to obtain further statistical information on this subject. I am prepared, however, to look further into the matter and will communicate with the hon. Member in due course.
