§ MR. P. A. TAYLORasked the President of the Local Government Board, Whether it is the fact, as stated by Mr. Dunlop, Medical Officer of Saint Pancras Workhouse, at an inquest held last week, that the practice of re-vaccinating women in the first days after their confinement (even on the day of confinement itself if that should happen on the usual weekly vaccination day) is under the sanction or by order of the Local Government Board?
§ SIR CHARLES W. DILKE, in reply, said, he had not received the depositions taken in this case; but he had written to the Coroner to ask for them. He was not aware whether Mr. Dunlop had made the statement attributed to him; but the Local Government Board had neither suggested nor ordered that women should be re-vaccinated during the first days after their confinement,
