HC Deb 07 May 1931 vol 252 cc584-5W
Mr. FREEMAN

asked the Minister of Health whether he will state the number of children under two years of age who died from small-pox during 1930 and the number who died from causes associated with vaccination or in which the death certificate included vaccinia?

Mr. GREENWOOD

The information asked for in the first part of the question was given to my hon. Friend in reply to his question of the 4th February last. As regards the second part of the question, in addition to the death mentioned in the reply to the question of the 4th February, there has been notified to my Department the death of a child under two years of age within six weeks of vaccination, which I am advised should be considered as due to causes associated with vaccination.
