§ 43. Mr. T. WILLIAMSasked the Minister of Health if he is aware of cases in which sufferers from tuberculosis have been precluded from receiving sanatorium treatment unless the patient consents to be vaccinated; and whether he has sanctioned regulations to that effect?
§ Sir K. WOODThe answer to both parts of he question is in the negative.
§ Mr. WILLIAMSIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that in the West Riding of Yorkshire it is said that some regulation exists which precludes a person suffering from tuberculosis from entering a, sanatorium unless he is vaccinated, and will he make inquiries on the point?
§ Sir K. WOODNo, Sir; I should want something; far more definite than what someone said in some part of the country. If the hon. Member has any definite ilnformation on the matter, I will inquire into it.
§ Mr. WILLIAMSIf a definite case is submitted to the right hon. Gentleman, will he make inquiries?
§ Sir K. WOODCertainly.
§ Mr. WILLIAMSAre we to understand that the Ministry of Health is not responsible for any regulation of this kind?
§ Sir K. WOODI have just said so.
