HOUSE OF COMMONS.

THURSDAY, JULY 28TH.

Experiments on Living Animals.Mr. SAMUEL SMITH asked the President of the Board of Agriculture

whether he had consented to a vivisectional laboratory being attachedto the Department of the Board of Agriculture at which experimentsmay be made on horses, dogs, and other highly organised animals ; andwhether such experiments were allowed there without the use ofanaesthetics.—Mr. LONG replied : Our veterinary officers are at presentengaged in an investigation into the curative and other properties ofmallein, and they have also to diagnose suspected cases of rabies. For

these purposes inoculation is requisite and the officers in question havetherefore obtained certificates under the Act of 1876. There has beenno new departure in this respect, it having been customary for manyyears past for my veterinary advisers to obtain such certificates forinvestigations connected with the suppression of contagious diseasesamongst animals. Anaesthetics are employed in connexion with thework under the second head above referred to, but not in cases underthe first head. No experiments have at any time been made by myofficers upon dogs.Colonel LOCKWOOD raised this question in connexion with the vote for

the Home Office on Friday, suggesting that the laboratories where theexperiments are carried on should be open to the inspection of Universitygraduates and medical men as representing the public.-Sir MATTHEwWHITE RIDLEY assured the House that the Act is very strictly enforced.He could not admit, however, that University graduates representingthe public should have the right to be present whenever an experi-ment was made. It was provided that the experiments should bereal experiments, and should be performed in a proper place, thatthe experimenters should be recommended by competent scientific menand that a return should be made of what was done. All these require-ments were strictly enforced. If the number of experiments had in-creased in the last few years the increase was due to inoculation experi-ments. The surgical experiments had very much decreased. He shouldbe ready to meet any reasonable suggestion as to the better working ofthe Act.

The Vaccination of Pupil Teachers.Mr. LABOUCHERE asked the Vice-President of the Committee of

Council on Education whether it was his intention to maintain in theEducation Code the article which requires probationers for pupilteachership to show proof of vaccination before the department assentsto their indentures.—Sir JOHN GORST replied that the Committee ofCouncil had no intention of changing the rule which requires pupilteachers to be vaccinated before admission.

Rabies in LondonMr. TRI’l’TON asked the President of the Board of Agriculture if he

was now in a position to withdraw the order relating to the muzzling ofdogs in the metropolitan area south of the Thames.-Mr. LoNG, in reply,said: The fact that an outbreak of rabies occurred at Bow so recentlyas June 8th last shows, I am afraid, that although the position has sosubstantially improved, there is still reason to believe that the diseaselingers within the metropolitan area. My hon. friend will understandthat I am very anxious to avoid the necessity of reimposing any of themuzzling orders now in force when once they have been withdrawn, andunder existing circumstances there would be a great danger that thiswould be the case, so far as South London is concerned.

FRIDAY, JULY 29TH,Vaccination

Mr. TALBOT asked the’ President of the! Local! Government Boardwhether he would consider the advisability of circulating to the variousboards of guardians throughout the country information on the subjectof vaccination which might be distributed by them in leaflet form soas to carry out the intention of Parliament to encourage the generaluse of vaccination though no longer enforced by law.-Mr. CHAPLINreplied that he was quite prepared to consider the proposal, though hemust not be understood as giving any pledge on the subject.

Medical Service at the Army Manæuvres.Captain NORTON asked the Under Secretary of State for War whether

he could state the number :of field hospitals and bearer companies aswell as the number of medical officers and men of the Army MedicalCorps required for the forces to be employed at the forthcomingmanœuvres.—Mr. BRODRICK replied that there would be 4 field hospitalsand 2 bearer companies ; 72 officers and 301 men of the Royal ArmyMedical Corps would be employed at the manceuvres.,

’ Woolsorters’ Disease in BradfordMr. FORTESCUE FLANNERY asked the Home Secretary whether his

attention had been called to recent deaths from woolsorters’ disease inBradford occurring from alleged infection in the carding-room asdistinguished from the sorting-room ; whether the recently adoptedwoolsorters’ rules had been extended to the carding-room ; and whetherhe could see his way to hold an inquiry, through the factoryinspectors or otherwise, as to whether or not the rules should be ex-tended to carding-rooms.-Sir M. WHITE RIDLEY replied : My attentionhas been called to this matter. The reports I have received showed thatin the most recent case, though the man was employed in the card-roomit was not from his own work that the infection reached him. The rule-do not apply to the process of carding and as they deal with dust as themedium of infection could not be applied en bloc. The matter is aserious one and I propose to institute inquiries.

Lead and Phosphorus Poisoning.In connexion with the vote for the Home Office there was: long

debate at this sitting on lead-poisoning in the Potteries and "phossy jaw" "

in the match industry. Speeches were delivered by Mr. Tennant, SirJohn Stirling-Maxwell, Sir Charles Dilke, Mr. Asquith, and otherscalling attention to the state of affairs and inviting action on the partof the Home Office to deal with it.-Sir MATTHEW WHITE RIDLEY, inhis reply, explained what has been done by his department, and theinquiries which are being made. He said they were beginning to findout that the special rules are not likely to be sufficient to meet the case,and he intimated that when the proper time arrives he would not beaverse to undertaking further legislation. He also expressed his readi-ness to consider what advantage is likely to accrue from sending a ladyinspector to reside and carry on her work in the Potteries district.

SATURDAY, JULY 30TH.The Vaccination Bill.

The House occupied several hours of this sitting with the considera-tion of the Vaccination Bill. Members on the Ministerial side of theHouse put forward a motion for the recommittal of the Bill, mainlyon the ground that the question of conscientious objection requiredreconsideration. The Government met the motion by saying that thissubject had been sufficiently disctssed and that the House must eitheraccept he Bil1 a: t stood or abandon it altogether. Several members

383

referred to the attitude of the medical profession towards the

Bill, and in regard to the declaration of the Royal College of

Physicians of London Mr. CHAPLIN said that while he agreedwith every word in it he could not help thinking that it wouldhave been a more useful and practical declaration if it had beensaid whether or no the Royal College agreed with the unanimousrecommendation of the Royal Commission for the insertion of a con-science clause. When the issue was brought to a vote only 29 Membersvoted for recommittal and 133 members voted against it. The motionthus disposed of, the House gave a third reading to the Bill.

MONDAY, AUG. 1ST.Vaccination Prosecutions in Scotland.

Dr. CLARK asked the Lord Advocate whether his attention had beencalled to recent vaccination prosecutions at Aberdeen and at Dundee ;whether he was aware that in the latter case the sheriff statedthat the procedure was oppressive in view of the English legisla-tion which proposed to give relief to persons with conscientiousscruples ; whether there had been a recent order by the ScottishLocal Government Board in favour of more rigorous prosecutions ;and whether the majority of the parish council of Abbotshall, in thecounty of Fife, had resigned in consequence.-The LORD ADVOCATE:My attention has been called to the cases referred to. The case atDundee was tried before the sheriff substitute, not the sheriff. I haveno knowledge of what he said except from the newspaper reports. Theanswer to the third paragraph of the question is in the negative. Onthe contrary, I am informed by the Local Government Board forScotland that they have not departed from the line which they haveall along adopted-namely, that parish councils are bound to carry outhe existing law. It is the fact that on being called upon to carry outthe existing law in regard to first prosecutions, 6 out of 11 of the parishcouncillors of Abbotshall resigned their seats at the parish council.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 2ND.Accommodation for Paitper Lunatics in Devon.

Mr. SEALE-HAYNE asked the President of the Local GovernmentBoard whether he was aware that for some time past the Devon CountyAsylum at Exminster has been overcrowded; that the Newton AbbotBoard of Guardians has been compelled to send several patients to otherasylums, involving a great increase of expense; and that a patientcertified by a justice of the peace for removal to an asylum is at thepresent time unable to be removed as there is no room for her receptioneither at the Devon County Asylum or other local asylums, or suitableaccommodation in the Newton Abbot workhouse. Whether it wastrue that the Devon County Council are prepared to give increasedasylum accommodation, but owing to the great delay which has arisenin consequence of a dispute with the Lunacy Commissioners in regardto the water-supply they had not yet done so ; and whether he wouldtake steps to impress upon the authorities the necessity of meeting with-out further delay the urgent want of increased asylum accommodationfor pauper lunatics in the county of Devon.-Sir M. WHITE RIDLEY readthis reply, viz.: It is the case that this asylum has for some time pastbeen overcrowded and that on account of difficulties attending thesupply of water approval of plans for the enlargement of the asylum wasdelayed until an adequate and (wholesome supply was obtained. Thesedifficulties have now to a great extent been surmounted and I approvedin February last of plans of an extension which will provide foradditional patients.

Hospital Accommodation at Malta.Mr. BRODRICK, replying to a question by Dr. Tanner on this subject,

said : In view of the increased garrison of Malta the hospital accommoda-tion requires revision and the erection of a new hospital is under con-sideration. Those hospitals now in use are as sanitary as it is possibleto render buildings in Malta which were not built specially for thepurpose to which they are now devoted.

Report of the Army Medical Department.Mr. BRODRICK, in answer to Dr. Tanner, explained that the Report of

the Army Medical Department had been presented formally in order toallow its issue during the Parliamentary recess. It would not be readyfor publication until late in the year as the returns for India had notyet reached this country.

The Supply of Artificial Limbs in the Navy.Sir ELLIOTT LEES asked the First Lord of the Admiralty what were

the regulations in the service with reference to the supply of artificiallimbs to seamen who whilst on duty met with accidents entailing theamputation of a leg or an arm ; and whether it would be practicable inall such cases to supply the injured seaman on his discharge fromhospital with the best artificial limb procurable free of charge to him-self.-Mr. MACARTNEY answered the question in the following terms,viz.: It is the practice to supply in such cases, free of charge to the man,the substitute either for arm or leg which is considered to be mostsuitable to his requirement. The " best artificial limb procurable " isoften an elaborate apparatus which frequently gets out of order andwould often not be so useful to the recipient.
