HC Deb 08 August 1901 vol 99 c52
MR. CORRIE GRANT (Warwickshire, Rugby)

I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether he will now lay upon the Table of the House the report made to his Board by the late Dr. Ballard, one of the inspectors of the Local Government Board, respecting the results of vaccination in the case of Emily Maud Child at Leeds, to which reference is made in the Report of the Royal Commission on Vaccination, in paragraph 4 (27) of that Report.

MR. WALTER LONG

It would be contrary to the practice of the Local Government Board to give publicity to the reports made by their inspectors in cases such as that referred to by the hon. Member. These reports are always regarded as confidential. Full particulars of this case will be found in Appendix IX. to the Final Report of the Royal Commission on Vaccination, and in the evidence given before the Commission.

MR. CORRIE GRANT

Was not the Report made to the Royal Commission on Vaccination?

MR. WALTER LONG

No; I gather it was made to the Local Government Board.
