§ SIR THOMAS ESMONDE (Kerry, W.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland what steps are being taken in accordance with the recommendation of the Royal Commission on Vaccination to supply calf lymph to the public vaccinators in Ireland.
§ MR. G. W. BALFOURSteps were taken in the first instance to ascertain 997 whether Dr. Blaxhall, the bacteriologist of the English Local Government Board, would be willing to make arrangements for providing a supply of glycerinated calf lymph for Ireland. I understand, however, that Dr. Blaxhall cannot undertake to supply to Ireland the quantity required, and it is now proposed to equip a bacteriological laboratory in Ireland for the purpose.
