§ MR. BULL (Hammersmith)I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board, having regard to the fact that any individual may, whether he has had any especial experience on the subject or not, set up the production and sale, without license or inspection, of vaccine lymph, and, seeing that vaccination is obligatory, whether the Government intends to enlarge its establishment so as to be in a position to supply its own lymph to the profession generally, or to exercise some control over those outside sources from which private practitioners under existing conditions are compelled to derive their supply.
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. Walter Long,) Bristol, S.As regards the first part of the Question, I dealt somewhat fully with the subject in my reply on Monday last to my hon. friend the 1252 Member for North Islington.†I shall be happy to give a copy of that answer to my hon. friend. I also stated recently in reply to the hon. Member for the Rugby Division that as at present advised I did not propose to ask for power to control the lymph supplied from outside sources.
