§ Sir W. Smithersasked the Minister of Health whether, in view of recent developments, he will take the necessary powers to make vaccination against smallpox and injections against other infectious and epidemic diseases compulsory?
§ Mr. E. BrownNo, Sir. I am advised that recent occurrences have not afforded any justification for such a change of policy as is suggested, but I shall continue to do all in my power to encourage immunisation against certain infectious diseases, either as a routine or when special circumstances call for such action.
