HC Deb 11 May 1909 vol 4 cc1790-1W
Sir MAURICE LEVY

asked the President of the Local Government Board whether the child of Mr. G. Fisher, the latter now in the Edmonton Infirmary, was vaccinated without its parents' consent on being sent to the Chase Farm workhouse schools; whether the child of Mr. Isted, previously sent to the same schools, was also vaccinated without the parents' consent; whether in the case of Mr. Isted the guardians apologised for what had been done; and whether steps will be taken to prevent the authorities of the Chase Farm schools vaccinating the children of parents who are opposed to vaccination, but who, through misfortune, are temporarily obliged to surrender their children to the care of the guardians?

Mr. BURNS

I do not find that I have received any complaint on this subject. I will make inquiry with regard to it.
