§ Mr. Viantasked the Minister of Health whether he has formed an estimate of the number of children inoculated against diphtheria in the seven years 1941 to 1947, 307W after making allowance for the half million or so who leave the under 15 age class every year and the half million or so who enter that class every year.
§ Mr. BevanThe number of children immunised through local authority arrangements in England and Wales under the age of 15, from 1940 to 30th June, 19,17, was approximately 6,875,000. The latter part of my hon. Friend's question is not clear, but for statistical assessment of the immunised proportion of the child population at given dates I would refer him to the Annual Reports of the Ministry for 1943 to 1946.
