§ Major Lyonsasked the Minister of Health what steps have been, or are being, taken in consultation with the Dominions and Colonies and with the United States of America, to ensure that machinery is available to come into complete operation to cope immediately with any world-wide epidemic at the instant of occurrence?
§ Mr. E. BrownArrangements for the exchange of epidemiological information are in operation between this country, the Dominions and Colonies, the United States of America, and Allied and neutral countries. The International Sanitary Conventions governing quarantine and other precautions are still being observed by all these countries, and their working has been adapted to war-time conditions and advances in preventive medicine. As regards the risks of epidemics in liberated countries and in the immediate post-war period, I understand that this is among the matters which will receive closest attention from the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration.
