§ MR. HOPWOOD (Lancashire, S.E., Middleton)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for India whether Surgeon Major King has been restored to the position from which he had been transferred for the use of lymph not now sanctioned by the Government; is the Government aware that the lymph in question is recommended in The Manual of Instruction on Vaccination, published by the Government in India, as formerly by the authorities here; and is the lymph in question variolous of small-pox in its origin, and how is it regarded by the medical advisers of the Indian Government?
§ THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA (Mr. G. RUSSELL, North Beds.)As I stated last week, inquiry is being made from the Government of India as to the various points raised by my hon. and learned Friend. But it will necessarily be some time before a reply to the Secretary of State's Despatch can be expected.
