§ Mr. N. MACLEANasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office for what reasons an Army order or instruction has been issued to Army medical officers instructing them to discontinue the use of boracic lint and of vaccination pads, and notifying them that when the present stocks are exhausted no further issue of vaccination pads, etc., will be made; whether this order means vaccination in the Army is to cease; and, if not, whether he will state the purpose of this order?
§ Mr. COOPERThe decision not to issue further supplies of boracic lint and vaccination pads was made in the interests of economy. Boracic powder and plain lint will be issued instead. The answer to the second part of the question is in the negative.
