§ MR. HARWOOD (Bolton)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether there is any fixed charge for vaccination exemption certificates; whether he is aware that there is a variety in the scale of charges even in neighbouring towns: and whether he will endeavour to secure that these charges shall nowhere be excessive.
§ * THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. RITCHIE,) CroydonThe charge for such a certificate varies in different districts in the same way as other fees chargeable by Justices' Clerks, though not to the same extent as some of those fees. I am doing my best to secure uniformity in respect of this fee as well as others, but my authority in this matter is contingent on a draft table of fees being submitted by the local authority.
