HC Deb 25 July 1923 vol 167 c450
58. Mr. ADAMS

asked the Minister of Health whether, in view of the fact that public vaccination is controlled by the Poor Law authorities, who have no responsibility in the prevention of smallpox, he will take the necessary steps to transfer their powers in this connection to the health authorities, who are responsible for the prevention of this disease?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

This suggestion is under consideration in connection with the general question of possible amendment of the Vaccination Acts.
