§ MR. WEIR (Ross and Cromarty)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether he is aware that Mr. John F. Back, on recently applying to the Lancaster bench of magistrates for a vaccination exemption 354 certificate under the Conscience Clause was refused, and subsequently summoned before the same bench of magistrates, and committed to prison for one month for not having a certificate of exemption; and, will he consider the expediency of calling for a report on the subject.
§ * THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. AKERS DOUGLAS, Kent, St. Augustine's)My attention has already been drawn to this case, and I have inquired into the facts; but I do not find sufficient reason for intervention on my part.
