HC Deb 31 March 1898 vol 55 c1477
MR. R. MCKENNA (Monmouth, N.)

I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board, in view of the proposal in the Vaccination Bill that domiciliary visits shall be made by the public vaccinators, whether it is proposed to make additional provisions for the payment of public vaccinators, and more particularly in the case of those acting in country districts, on account of the long distances which must necessarily be traversed?

THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. H. CHAPLIN,) Lincolnshire, Sleaford

I have no doubt that some revision in respect of the fees now payable for stational vaccination will be required when the system of domiciliary vaccination has been adopted.

MR. T. BAYLEY (Derbyshire, Chesterfield)

Will the increased cost come from Imperial taxation or local taxation?

THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD

The cost will be borne as now.

MR. BAYLEY

That is, I understand, out of local taxation.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD

Yes.
