§ MR. P. A. TAYLORasked the Under Secretary of State for India, Whether it is the fact that the High Court of Madras has lately decided a Case on Appeal, to the effect that compulsory vaccination is illegal, the judges declaring that it is quite optional to a parent whether his children shall be vaccinated, and that it is not lawful to dissuade others from suffering their children to undergo the operation?
§ MR. J. K. CROSS,in reply, said, the decisions of the High Courts in India were not usually reported to the Secretary of State, and he could find no trace of the case referred to by his hon. Friend. If his hon. Friend would give him his authority for the facts on which his Question was founded he would inquire into their accuracy.
