§ MR. PICKERSGILLI beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether, having regard to the fact that the cost of public vaccination has risen since 1899 from £72,000 to £270,000, he can now state the result of the consideration which he promised, on 25th April last, should be at once given to the question; and will he state what steps he has taken, or proposes to take, in order to reduce the cost of the administration of the Vaccination Acts.
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. JOHN BURNS, Batter-sea)I have given consideration to this subject, and expect shortly to be able to take action with regard to it.
