HC Deb 10 July 1947 vol 439 cc239-40W
82. Mr. Hobson

asked the Minister of Health whether the lymph used in vaccination against smallpox is still manufactured in the skins of animals; and whether the calves used for the production of lymph at the Lister Institute are slaughtered before the lymph is extracted.

Mr. Bevan

I am advised that the answer to both parts of the Question is "Yes, Sir," except that sheep and not calves are used by the Institute.
