HC Deb 19 July 1911 vol 28 c1031
Mr. BENTHAM

asked whether the increase in the number of children exempted from vaccination through the operation of the Vaccination Acts of 1898 and 1907, and especially since the Act of 1907 came into force, has been accompanied by any noticeable increase in the number of deaths from small-pox in children under ten years of age?

Mr. BURNS

There has been but little small-pox in this country since 1907, and up to the end of 1910 no noticeable increase in the deaths of children under ten from this disease. Figures for 1911 are not yet available.
