§ Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCEasked the Minister of Health whether he will issue a Return giving particulars of the vaccination officers' annual returns since 1917, similar to the Return for the five years ending 1917 which appeared in the Forty-eighth Annual Report of the Local Government Board?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINA summary of the annual returns of the vaccination officers for each of the years 1918 to 1925 will be found in Appendix A to the Report of the Chief Medical Officer of the Ministry for 1926, and similar figures for 1177W the year 1926 will be published in the forthcoming Report for 1927. The preparation of a Return for each county similar to that referred to in the question would involve an expenditure of time and labour which, in my opinion, would be out of proportion to the value of such a Return.
