MR. J. COMPTON RICKETT (Scarborough)I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board, whether he can state when the Royal Commission on Vaccination will report; and, in the event of further delay, if he can give any advice to Boards of Guardians who are 1371 not enforcing the Act pending the Report of the Royal Commission?
§ MR. CHAPLINAs to the Report of the Royal Commission on Vaccination, I can only remind the hon. Member of the replies which I have given to similar questions previously. I have availed myself, and shall continue to do so, of every opportunity presenting itself to inform Boards of Guardians that they have no legal right whatever to suspend action for the enforcement of the law as to vaccination, pending the issue of the Report of the Royal Commission.
