Abstract: We prove that if $mathcalA$ is a $sigma$-complete Boolean algebra in a model $V$ of set theory and $mathbbPinV$ is a proper forcing with the Laver property preserving the ground model reals non-meager, then every pointwise convergent sequence of measures on $mathcalA$ in a $mathbbP$-generic extension $V[G]$ is weakly convergent, i.e. $mathcalA$ has the Vitali--Hahn--Saks property in $V[G]$. This yields a consistent example of a whole class of infinite Boolean algebras with this property and of cardinality strictly smaller than the dominating number $mathfrakd$. We also obtain a new consistent situation in which there exists an Efimov space.
