HC Deb 28 September 1909 vol 11 cc1072-3
Mr. LUPTON

asked whether vaccination or revaccination is a condition of admission to any of the schools or colleges in India which receive Government grants?

The HON. MEMBER

further asked whether the Department of Public Instruction, Bombay, issues any primers or reading books in English or Native languages, containing statements advocating vaccination; and, if so, in view of the diverging views held on the subject by eminent investigators in this country and abroad, he will cause such books to be withdrawn.

The MASTER of ELIBANK

The Secretary of State has no information either as regards this question or as regards the hon. Member's question immediately following.

Mr. LUPTON

Will he inquire to ascertain the truth of the facts mentioned?

The MASTER of ELIBANK

I will see that the hon. Member's question is referred to the Government.
