HC Deb 28 November 1912 vol 44 c1471
42. Mr. BENTHAM

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether, in view of the continued increase of exemptions from vaccination, he is prepared to make vaccination optional to recruits for the Navy?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the ADMIRALTY (Dr. Macnamara)

As I stated in reply to my hon. Friend on the 19th instant, I cannot undertake to recommend that the Regulations of the Service in regard to vaccination should be relaxed.
