I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether his attention has been called to the circumstances attending the death of Emily Maud Child, aged six months, in the Leeds' Infirmary, on the 1st instant, and to the finding of the Coroner's Jury, to the effect that "the deceased died from syphilis, acquired at or from vaccination;" and, whether it is his intention to institute any inquiry into this case?

My attention has been called to the circumstances attending the death of the child referred to, and to the finding of the Coroner's jury. I have directed an inquiry to be made into the case.
