§ Mr. RAMSAY MACDONALDasked the President of the Board of Education, whether he is aware that the trustees of the French School, Soho, have issued a notice to parents requiring children attending the school to be vaccinated, if the operation has not been performed within the last seven years; that a doctor attended at the school on Wednesday, 8th March, for the purpose of vaccinating the children, that the trustees have ordered the exclusion of children not vaccinated within the past seven years; and, if so, will the Board of Education take steps to prevent this proposal being carried out?

§ Mr. RUNCIMANI understand the hon. Member to refer to the Westminster French Protestant Church School. I have no information as to-what steps may have been taken of the nature indicated. The school is not a public elementary school in receipt of Grant, and it does not appear to be within the power of the Board of Education to intervene in the matter.
