§ MR. CORRIE GRANTI beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether he has now completed his inquiries with regard to the public vaccinator of the Battle Union who charged the Guardians fees for vaccinating three persons, although he had also charged these persons fees as private patients for the operation; and whether he is aware that the public vaccinator did not draw attention to the matter, but that the Guardians called the attention of the public vaccinator to the matter on the 21st October, with the result that he returned the fees on the 11th, November.
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL, GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. WALTER LONG,) Bristol, S.I have written to the Guardians enclosing a copy of the communication which I received from the public vaccinator and referring to the point alluded to in the second part of the Question. I have asked for their further observations on the case, and am now awaiting their reply.
