§ MR. THOMAS BAYLEY (Derbyshire, Chesterfield)I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board if the Government propose this Session to introduce any legislation on the lines of the Report of the Royal Commission on Vaccination?
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. T. W. RUSSELL,) Tyrone, S.I can only give the same answer as was given by me to the hon. Member for the Harborough Division, on Thursday last, and state that the Report of the Royal Commission on Vaccination is receiving the consideration of the Local Government Board.
§ MR. BAYLEYasked whether the hon. Gentleman could inform the House what the Local Government Board were proposing to do with regard to the recommendations of the Royal Commission on Vaccination as to repeated convictions?
§ MR. T. W. RUSSELLsaid the policy of the Local Government Board as regarded the question of repeated convictions was duly expressed in a letter to the Evesham Guardians in 1875. The letter was a long, one and he would be happy to give the hon. Gentleman a copy.
§ DR. FARQUHARSON (Aberdeenshire, W.)asked whether the hon. Gentleman would lay on the Table Dr. Thoern's Report as to the methods of vaccination pursued on the Continent?
§ MR. T. W. RUSSELLsaid that he would be glad to consider the matter. Dr. Thorne had just hurriedly returned from the Continent, and he did not know whether the papers were yet in a fit state to be laid on the Table.
