HC Deb 07 April 1914 vol 60 cc1812-3W
Mr. CHANCELLOR

asked the President of the Board of Education whether he is aware that at a meeting of the Hertfordshire Education Committee on the 30th March a resolution was passed declaring that in future no teacher will be appointed who has not been vaccinated; and whether he will take steps to prevent the decision being given effect to?

Mr. PEASE

I am informed that such a resolution was passed by the education committee, but requires confirmation by the county council. I have no power to prevent the local education authority from exercising its discretion in the matter.
