HC Deb 20 September 1939 vol 351 c974W
Mr. Rhys Davies

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will make it clear to the responsible officers that vaccination of soldiers is not compulsory?

Sir V. Warrender

A man is not enlisted into the Regular Army on a normal engagement unless he consents to be vaccinated. Vaccination will not be compulsory in the case of other soldiers, and instructions have been issued to this effect.
