§ MR. LUPTON (Lincolnshire, Sleaford)To ask the Secretary to the Admiralty if a second-class domestic serving on H.M.S. "Defiance" at Devonport has been taken ill of small-pox; if so, will he say whether the patient was vaccinated; and, if so, upon what date.
(Answered by Mr. Edmund Robertson.) A second-class domestic serving in H.M.S. "Defiance" has been attacked with small-pox. He was vaccinated as an infant, but the actual date is not known. He was not re-vaccinated. He is suffering from an attack of modified small-pox, such as follows ordinarily in persons partially protected by infantile vaccination.
