asked the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the unrest and anxiety which any fear of enforced vaccination causes amongst soldiers in the British Army, he will take steps to remove all cause for this by issuing a circular to all commanding officers asking them to note that while compulsory service is in force, no soldier is to be forced to be vaccinated or inoculated?

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave yesterday to the hon. Member for Westhoughton (Mr. Rhys Davies) on the subject of vaccination. Inoculation is not compulsory, and the instructions that have been issued make this clear.
