Mr. TYSON WILSONasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, in view of the fact that some justices of the peace charge a fee for signing an exemption from vaccination certificate and that no fee is charged by others, he will, with the object of securing uniformity in the administration of The Vaccination Act, 1907, by circular or other means inform the magistrates that they are not justified in charging a fee unless the services of the justices clerk are utilised?
§ Mr. GLADSTONEIf the hon. Member will inform me of any cases in which justices have charged a fee for anything done by them in their magisterial capacity I will communicate with them. I do not, however, think that a general circular is called for, as I have no doubt that justices generally are properly informed on this subject.
