§ MR. HOPWOOD (Lancashire, S.E., Middleton)I beg to ask the Parliamentary Secretary to the Local Government Board whether he is aware that the Medical Officer for Worcester, Dr. Road, was during the past year very ill and incapacitated for months by blood poisoning, setting in within six days after re-vaccination by himself with calf lymph, also that the doctor accounts for the blood poisoning by some microbe from the external air entering at the place of vaccination; has inquiry been made whence the virus with which the calf was inoculated came and what it was; and is it possible to guarantee the vaccinated against similar microbes?
§ THE PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY TO THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Sir W. FOSTER,) Derby, IlkestonThe Government have asked for information on the subject.
§ MR. HOPWOODI will repeat the question on Thursday.
