§ Mr. BROMFIELDasked the Minister of Health what was the cause of the increase in expenditure on vaccination by Poor Law authorities in England and Wales during the year 1920–21, as compared with the previous year, the respective figures being £174,927 and £124,018?
Mr. GREENWOODThe increase in expenditure on vaccination by Poor Law authorities during the year 1920–21, as compared with the previous year, was mainly due to the increase in the number of births, and the consequent increase in the number of children vaccinated by public vaccinators during 1920 as compared with 1919.
