HC Deb 16 May 1912 vol 38 c1423W
Mr. CHANCELLOR

asked the Undersecretary of State for War, whether he is aware that force unlawfully used in South Africa in 1911 to defeat the Vaccination Acts, 1898 and 1907, and to secure the vaccination of the four children of Staff-Quartermaster Stickney, of the Army Ordnance Corps; and whether he is prepared to look into the case with a view of instituting proceedings against any officers who have been guilty of illegal acts?

Colonel SEELY

This case was fully dealt with in my reply to a question on this subject on 15th May, 1911. I may add that force was not unlawfully used for the objects stated. There is no intention of reopening the case.
