§ Mr. COMPTONasked the Minister of Health whether vaccine lymph is tested on rabbits before it is issued to public vaccinators; and, if so, when was the lymph first regularly tested in this way?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINThe answer to the first part of the question is in the negative and the second part, therefore, does not arise.
§ Mr. GROVESasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is aware that captains of vessels trading between Singapore and American ports have been required at Singapore to have their ships' crews vaccinated in recent years, failing which they are not given a clean bill of health; and whether the medical officer who insists on the vaccination receives a fee for any vaccinations he may perform?
§ Mr. ORMSBY-GOREI have no in formation on the subject, but will inquire of the Governor.
