HC Deb 27 March 1930 vol 237 cc595-6
48. Mr. FREEMAN

asked the President of the Board of Education whether he is aware that children attending Sigden Street School, Dalston Lane, Hackney Downs, were vaccinated at school on or about 21st March last without the previous consent of their parents being obtained; and by whose authority were such vaccinations carried out?

Sir C. TREVELYAN

I have made inquiries, and have not been able to ascertain that any children have been vaccinated recently at the Sigden Road School, either with or without the consent of their parents.

Mr. FREEMAN

Are we to understand that no child is to be vaccinated without the previous consent of their parents having been obtained in writing?

Sir C. TREVELYAN

I do not think that is my business.
