§ Colonel DAYasked the Minister of Health if his attention has been called to the recent case of King v. Southwark Guardians, ex parte Peabody Donation Fund, and if he is prepared to take steps to protect the interests of parents making the statutory declarations of belief that vaccination would be prejudicial to the health of their children by amending the Vaccination Orders of 1898 and 1907, so as to ensure that such statutory declarations shall not be open to public inspection?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. As regards the second part, as the register required to be kept, under 2017W the Vaccination Act of 1867, would still be open to inspection, it does not appear that the course suggested would serve any useful purpose.
