§ 8. Mr. GINNELLasked the Under-Secretary of State for War if he will state the source and nature of the anti-typhoid vaccine with which soldiers are liable to be inoculated under military discipline and of the artificial medium on which it is grown; and whether this information and the liability to the inoculation are made known to recruits before their enlistment?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Mr. Tennant)I gave the hon. Member full information about the source and nature of the anti-typhoid vaccine on 10th June. This technical information would not be of much value to the prospective soldier and, as inoculation is voluntary, there is no reason why it should be given to him.
