§ MR. LUPTONI beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if his attention has been called to the case of Mr. Vincent Ward, an applicant for a vaccination exemption certificate at the West Riding Court, Bradford, when Dr. W. H. Ellis, a local practitioner, presided, and refused the application; if 1148 it is permissible for a medical practitioner to adjudicate in these cases; if his attention has been called to the statement of Mr. Rawson, the magistrate's clerk, that the question was whether vaccination would injure the child; and if he will take steps to remove Mr. Rawson.
§ MR. GLADSTONEI am making inquiry into this case, and I will let the hon. Member know the result, but I may point out that I have, of course, no control over a magistrate's clerk.
