Swine Flu Vaccination

Dear Sir or Madam,

I would like to draw your attention to the following document from
the House Of Commons Library regarding the Swine Flu Vaccination.

http://www.parliament.uk/commons/lib/res...

In particular I would like to raise the issue of Part 4 - "Powers
to impose compulsory vaccination" which the document explicitly
states can be introduced by regulations that could be made under
the Civil Contingencies Act 2004.

Under freedom of information please can you answer the following
points:

1. Has the UK Government obtained independent legal advice as to
whether compulsory vaccination is permitted under the terms of the
European Convention on Human Rights?

2. Which persons and/or organisations in the UK would have the
authority to order compulsory vaccination by regulation made under
the Civil Contingencies Act?

3. Which persons and/or organisations could be called upon to
participate in the administration of compulsory vaccinations?

4. If compulsory vaccination was to be introduced, what
arrangements would be made for persons who are allergic to vaccine
ingredients (e.g. to egg protein) and thus excluded from the
present vaccination programme?

5. What are the available penalties that could be imposed on
persons who fail to comply with compulsory vaccination orders (e.g.
level of fine or length of custodial sentence) and who would impose
such penalties (e.g. Magistrate/Sheriff court or other tribunal)?

6. Could the introduction of compulsory vaccination enable the
forced administration of vaccines under arrest/restraint to persons
who otherwise refuse to submit to vaccination.

Yours faithfully,

Mr McGillivray
