§ 20. Mr. MILLSasked the Secretary of State for Air whether, in view of the fact that men in the Air Force are subject to the same regulations as those applied to soldiers in the Army in regard to vaccination or inoculation, he will give instructions that recruiting officers for the Royal Air Force shall refrain in future from stating, as was stated by the flying officer commanding the Bristol recruiting depot on 18th January, 1922, that vaccination is compulsory if posted to a country where small-pox is prevalent, also on enlistment, and every seven years, and that inoculation is also compulsory?
The SECRETARY of STATE for AIR (Captain Guest)The officer concerned has been interrogated, and denies that he ever made such a statement as that referred to in the question. No fresh instructions on the subject of vaccination and inoculation appear to me to be necessary.
