HC Deb 01 May 1911 vol 25 c30
Sir HARRY SAMUEL

asked the President of the Local Government Board whether he is aware that the public vaccinators are using shields or vaccination pads made in Germany; and whether steps will be taken for them to obtain an equally good article manufactured in this country?

The PRESIDENT of the LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. Burns)

Public vaccinators are required to take precautions for the protection of the vaccinated surface, and protective coverings of various kinds are in use. I have no information as to whether any of these coverings are made in Germany. No special type of covering is prescribed.

Sir H. SAMUEL

Does the right hon. Gentleman not think it desirable that our public English officials should use things made by English hands?
