§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board if he will state whether any vaccination officers throughout the country, besides the vaccination officer at Brighton, print their own notices on the forms prepared by the Local Government Board for distribution to the parents of new-born infants; and, if so, will he state the number; and, with a view to secure uniformity on the subject, will the Local Government Board so prepare the information on the forms as to obviate further additions being made by vaccination officers.
THE SECRETARY TO THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. GRANT LAWSON,) Yorkshire, N.R., ThirskA few instances have come under my observation in which additions have been made to the form of notice referred to. I cannot say in how many cases this has been done, but no such additions should be made without the consent of the Department. I will take note of the suggestion of the hon. Member, so that when the Vaccination Order which prescribes the form is revised, the question may be considered whether any addition to the form is desirable.
MR. GIBSON BOWLES (Lynn Regis)Has any notice been taken of the conduct of these officials in printing these improper notices? Have they been reprimanded?
MR. GRANT LAWSONI do not know we have power to do more than call the attention of the board of guardians whose servants they are to the matter.
