Mr. WINTERTONasked the Minister of Health whether he has considered the resolution sent to him from the citizens of Wigston, near Leicester, where twin children recently died after vaccination, calling for the abolition of vaccination; and what steps he proposes to take in the matter?
§ Mr. GREENWOODI have received the resolution referred to in the first part of the question. As regards the second part, I have recently published a comprehensive review of the present position regarding small-pox and vaccination, and I propose to await the results of the644W recent transfer of the administration of the Vaccination Acts to the public health authorities before considering the question of further legislation on this subject.
