MR. JAMESasked the President of the Local Government Board, If he can state the reason that, in the Thirty-fifth Annual Report of the Registrar General, page 231, in which it is stated that 19,094 deaths from small pox took place in the preceding year, and at a previous page, 150, 3,782 of these being reported as unvaccinated and only 1,888 as vaccinated, while no mention was made of the remaining 13,424 cases as being or not being vaccinated?
§ MR. SCLATER-BOOTH,in reply, said, the reason why these 13,424 cases were not reported as being vaccinated or 1567 not vaccinated was that the Registrar General had no information that enabled him to give a complete Return. The Legislature gave him no means of insisting on such information being supplied in all cases.
