§ MR. BARROWsaid, he wished to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education, Whether he will postpone the second reading of the Vaccination Bill till an opportunity has been given of fully considering its provisions?
§ LORD ROBERT MONTAGU, in reply, said, the principle of the Bill had been approved three or four times by the House, and it went last year before a Select Committee on the express understanding that the principle of the Bill should not be impugned. He had hoped that the second reading would this year have been passed sub silentio as it was last year, and that any discussion would have been raised on the Motion for going into Committee. He would postpone the second reading till that day week, though, from the state of Parliamentary business, he did not feel sure of being able to bring on the Bill on that day.
