HC Deb 27 June 1911 vol 27 cc403-4W
Mr. JAMES PARKER

asked the President of the Local Government Board what were the number of births, of successful vaccination of infants, and of de- clarations of conscientious objection to vaccination in the borough of Halifax in the years 1905, 1906, 1907, 1908, 1909, and 1910, respectively?

Mr. BURNS

The registration sub-districts of north and south Halifax are not exactly coincident with the Borough, as they contain a small area outside. The figures for these districts, so far as they are available, are as follows:—

Year. Number of births registered. Number these births entered by the Vaccination Officer as successfully vaccinated. Number of successful primary vaccinations of all ages. Number of certificates of conscientious objections.
