HC Deb 03 August 1911 vol 29 cc712-3W
Mr. LANSBURY

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether he is aware that the Bombay Legislative Council propose to make revaccination compulsory in Bombay; whether the Governor has received a petition against the suggested law; and whether, seeing that small-pox is not checked in India in spite of the amount of vaccination that is practised there, he will point out to the Bombay Council the inadvisability of enacting a compulsory revaccination law and counsel them to take all possible steps to improve the sanitary condition of the city?

Mr. MONTAGU

The Secretary of State is not aware that any such legislation is contemplated.
