Oral Answers to Questions — Scotland. – in the House of Commons at on 17 December 1929.
Mr Peter Freeman
, Breconshire and Radnorshire
asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he received information regarding the small-pox cases that occurred in Glasgow and other Scotch towns as the result of the outbreak on the steamship "Tuscania" in April last; and, if so, whether he will state how many eases occurred and the vaccinal condition of each case?
Mr Thomas Johnston
, Stirlingshire and Clackmannanshire Western
The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. As regards the second part, 17 cases in Glasgow and one case in Aberdeen were traceable to the steamship "Tuscania." I propose to circulate the details of the vaccinal condition of these cases in the OFFICIAL REPORT.
Mr Peter Freeman
, Breconshire and Radnorshire
Can my hon. Friend say how many of these cases of smallpox had previously been vaccinated?
Mr Thomas Johnston
, Stirlingshire and Clackmannanshire Western
My hon. Friend will get all the detailed information in the OFFICIAL REPORT.
