HC Deb 18 December 1919 vol 123 c680W
Mr. HAYDAY

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if he can give any reasons why Irish objectors to vaccination, who number many thousands, cannot have extended to them the provisions of the exemption clauses in force in England, Wales, and Scotland?

Mr. MACPHERSON

The subject of vaccination in Ireland has been, repeatedly, considered by successive Governments, who decided, after carefully reviewing all the circumstances, not to alter the existing law in Ireland in regard to this matter.
