§ 27. Mr. Rossasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many children of the relevant age group have been registered for anti-polio vaccination; and for what percentage the vaccine will be available.
§ Mr. J. StuartJust under 300,000 in Scotland. I hope that vaccine will be available before the end of June for about 20 per cent. of these; the others will have priority when vaccination is resumed later in the year.
§ Mr. RossCould we have further details of what the right hon. Gentleman means by "later in the year "?
§ Mr. StuartYes, Sir. Vaccinations will be suspended at the end of June until after the polio season has passed. They will be recommenced in November or December.
