HC Deb 04 December 1922 vol 159 c1226W
Mr. W. THORNE

asked the Minister of Labour, as representing the Ministry of Health, how many unvaccinated children under 12 years of age he estimates as living in Stepney; and how many of these have suffered from small-pox since one child developed the disease in August last?

Major BOYD-CARPENTER

As regards the first part of the question my right hon. Friend would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to the hon. Member for Dundee (Mr. Scrymgeour) on the 30th November. As regards the second part, no child under 12 years of age has been notified as suffering from small-pox in Stepney since August last.
