HC Deb 11 June 1903 vol 123 c644
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board, having regard to the fact that glycerinated calf lymph produced at the Board's laboratory is supplied free of charge to public vaccinators in England, will arrangements be made for parochial vaccinators in Scotland to be provided free of charge with sufficient lymph to meet their requirements. I beg also to ask the Lord Advocate whether the Secretary for Scotland will consider the expediency of obtaining from the Local Government Board laboratory in London the lymph required for the use of parochial vaccinators in Scotland.

*THE SOLICITOR-GENERAL FOR SCOTLAND (Mr. SCOTT DICKSON,) Glasgow, Bridgton

In reply to the hon. Member's Questions I would refer him to the Lord Advocate's answer to his Question of 25th March, 1903,† in which the Lord Advocate said that parochial vaccinators receive free, on application, supplies of glycerinated calf lymph from the Local Government Board for Scotland. I would add that the lymph so supplied is obtained from the Local Government Board laboratory in London. † See (4) Debates, cxx, 178.
