§ MR. PIERPOINT (Warrington)I beg to ask the Parliamentary Secretary to the Local Government Board whether he has received any Reports from the Medical Officer of Health for Warrington stating the numbers of cases of small-pox which occurred during the late epidemic in Warrington, and giving the numbers of cases and deaths amongst properly vaccinated persons compared with those amongst non-vaccinated or imperfectly vaccinated persons; and whether he will lay such Reports upon the Table?
SIR W. FOSTERThe Local Government Board have not yet received Reports from the Medical Officer of Health of Warrington as to the number of cases of small-pox which occurred during the recent epidemic, and giving the numbers of cases among properly vaccinated persons compared with those among non-vaccinated or imperfectly vaccinated persons. As I have previously mentioned, the Royal Commission on Vaccination have caused inquiry to be made with regard to the outbreak of small-pox at Warrington.
§ MR. PIERPOINTBut when does the hon. Gentleman expect to receive the Report?
