HC Deb 21 August 1883 vol 283 c1488
MR. HOPWOOD

asked the President of the Local Government Board, If he will inquire into the case of a child named Emily Agnes Henning, aged four months, who was vaccinated on the 25th July, was, within three days, attacked with symptoms of blood poisoning, and died in great suffering on August 15th; whether he is aware that the certificate of death stated the cause to be Erysipelas P. Convulsions S. without mentioning vaccination; and, whether he will cause an inquiry into the circumstances satisfactory to the parents?

MR. GEORGE RUSSELL

Sir, as the Notice gives no clue as to the place where the child was vaccinated, or where the death was registered, the Board are at present unable to give any information respecting the case. If they are supplied with these particulars, the facts will be ascertained.

MR. HOPWOOD

I am sorry the information was not given; but if my hon. Friend had applied to me, I could have given it him.
