HC Deb 10 July 1884 vol 290 c669
MR. HOPWOOD

asked the Vice President of the Committee of Council, Whether it was with the sanction of the Education Department that some one (presumed to be in the employ of the local authorities of St. Pancras) on Wednesday last examined the scholars of the Henry Street School to ascertain whether they were vaccinated?

MR. MUNDELLA

The Education Department has not sanctioned, and has not the right to sanction, any visit to schools for the purpose of ascertaining whether the children are vaccinated or not. The managers of the school are the only persons who could sanction such an inquiry.
