asked the Minister of Health what proportion of the £162,400 expended by boards of guardians on vaccination during the year ending 30th September, 1922, was incurred in the actual operation of vaccination; and how much was spent on the machinery for securing exemption to those who desired it from vaccination?

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer which I gave on this subject on the 3rd July. The returns received from boards of guardians do not enable me to supply any details of the sum of £162,400 mentioned in the question.

Is it not a fact that the cost of each vaccinated person amounts to 15s. out of the taxes?

I am very sorry that I have not the information asked for.

Can the right hon. Gentleman say what the cost of an outbreak of smallpox would be?
