§ MR. J. M. ROBERTSON (Northumberland, Tyneside)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether his attention has been called to the repeated refusals of the Barrow magistrates to grant a certificate of exemption from vaccination to Mr. William Watts, of 20, Westmoreland Street, Burrow-in-Furness; and whether he will take any action in the matter.
§ MR. GLADSTONEMy attention has not been called to the case in question, but I am at the present moment issuing from my Department a circular to Justices setting out what I am advised is the intention of the law respecting the grant of certificates of exemption.
