HC Deb 03 July 1918 vol 107 cc1709-10
40. Mr. CHANCELLOR

asked the President of the Local Government Board how many of the five small-pox deaths in the county of Suffolk reported in the quarterly Return of the Registrar-General for the first three months of 1918 were civil, military, and naval, respectively; and what was the vaccinal condition in each case?

The PRESIDENT of the LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. Hayes Fisher)

I am informed by the Registrar-General that the cases referred to were wrongly entered as small-pox. They should have been entered as whooping cough.
