§ MR. W. H. DAVIES (Bristol, S.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if his attention has been called to the case of A. E. Ather-such, of 24, Sion Hill, Clifton, who has been twice refused a vaccination exemption order by the Bristol magistrates; and whether he will call their attention to the provisions of the Act of Parliament under which exemption orders for vaccination are granted.
§ *MR. GLADSTONEMy attention has not been called to this case; but a circular has very recently been sent to justices drawing attention to the principles which I am advised should guide them in dealing with applications for certificates of exemption.
