§ Mr. Viantasked the Minister of Health whether he will give an undertaking that before this country is committed to approval of any international sanitary regulations this House will be consulted.
§ Mr. BevanWhen new International Sanitary Regulations are adopted by the World Health Organisation they will not come into force until after a period probably of 12 months in which any member State may reject the Regulations or make reservations. If it appears that acceptance of the Regulations will involve substantial amendment to our National Regulations, the House will be consulted.
