HC Deb 08 April 1902 vol 105 cc1257-8
MR. BARTLEY

I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether he can state what progress has been made in the supply of Government lymph; whether the Local Government Board has been able to overtake the demand for it; and whether any arrangements have yet been made to supply private practitioners as well as the public vaccinators with Government lymph for primary and secondary vaccinations at about cost price.

MR. WALTER LONG

I am glad to say that since the early part of last I month I have been able to meet all the demands made by public vaccinators for lymph, not only for primary vaccinations but also for re-vaccinations. As regards the last part of the Question, I have carefully considered the matter, but I regret that I have not seen my way to comply with the suggestion of my hon. friend.
