HC Deb 08 June 1910 vol 17 cc885-6W
Mr. RAMSAY MACDONALD

asked the President of the Board of Education whether it is still the intention of the Department to keep as confidential the information derived by the medical officer from the inspection of school children; and, if that be so, whether he has considered the impropriety of allowing authorities to appoint as medical inspectors persons who already hold the office of public vaccinator?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

The Board remain at present of opinion that it is desirable that these reports should be regarded as confidential. As regards the second part of the question, I must refer the hon. Member to the answer he received from my right hon. Friend on 9th March.
