§ Mr. GROVESasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether defaulters under the Vaccination Acts automatically receive notices of default from the registrars, or whether the local authorities consider the lists of defaulters and thereafter instruct registrars to send notices of default?
§ Sir G. COLLINSThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative, and the second part does not therefore arise.
§ Mr. GROVESasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether registrars registering births in Scotland are required to hand persons registering such births a form of the requirements of the Vaccination Acts containing certificates of successful vaccination, postponement, susceptibility, and exemption on account of conscientious objection; and, if not, whether he can state the procedure by which the requirements of the Scottish Vaccination Acts are brought to the notice of parents?
§ Sir G. COLLINSThe informant of every birth in Scotland is furnished by the Registrar with a notice setting out the requirements of the Vaccination Acts and the provisions regarding Conscientious Objection. The notice includes forms of Certificates of successful vaccination, postponement, and insusceptibility, and the Registrar is instructed to tender to all informants at the same time a form of Statutory Declaration of Conscientious Objection to Vaccination.
