HC Deb 08 June 1866 vol 184 c533
SIR JERVOISE JERVOISE

said, he wished to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education, Whether his attention has been directed to the statement of the Medical Officer of the Privy Council (First Report, Cattle Plague Commission, p. 46)— We constantly see in our practice that the physician carries home scarlet fever to his children without taking it himself, carrying the infection in his dress or about his person; and what measures are contemplated to arrest this source of danger to the public health?

MR. BRUCE

replied that the Government did not see their way to legislation on the subject.
