Mr. POINTERasked the President of the Local Government Board what amount has been paid to vaccination officers in each of the years from 1895 down to the present, giving the separate amounts for London and the provincial unions, and the total amount for England and Wales?
§ Mr. BURNSIt is doubtful whether the information could be obtained in all cases, and, even if it could, the labour which such a return would entail, not only on my Department, but on the officials of the 650 unions from which the particulars would have to be supplied, would, I think, be disproportionate to the value of the figures.
