§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether he is aware that, although forms are framed by the Local Government Board for distribution to the parents of newborn infants, the vaccination officer for Brighton has induced the superintendent registrar to issue a form in which the vaccination officer gives his private advice in regard to vaccination; and, if so, will steps be taken by the Local Government Board to ensure their forms being issued intact.
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. WALTER LONG, Bristol, S.)I understand that the Guardians of the Parish of Brighton recently had this subject before them, and resolved that Vaccination Notices should be issued in the form previously in use in the parish, with the omission of a notice printed on it to the effect of its being advisable that children should be vaccinated between the second and third months after birth. I am not aware of any sufficient reason for objecting to the document as altered, and I do not propose to interfere in the matter.
§ MR. WEIRThen am I to understand that such a document as this can be sent out as a Government notice?
§ MR. WALTER LONGCertainly, there is nothing on the paper to which I have a right to object.
