§ MR. LOGAN (Leicester, Harborough)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he is aware that the Justices of the Whittlesea Petty Sessional Division of Cambridgeshire have refused a certificate of exemption under The Vaccination Act, 1898, to Mr. G. Goude, who applied on two occasions, on the ground that they did not feel inclined to grant it; and whether he proposes to take any action in the matter?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENTI find on inquiry that it is not the case that Mr. Goude was refused a certificate of exemption on the ground suggested, but that the justices were unanimous in deciding that the applicant had failed to satisfy them, as required by statute that he conscientiously believed that vaccination would be prejudicial to the health of his child.
