§ The Prime MinisterA member of the United States National Institute of Health 299W will be seconded for some time to the headquarters of the Medical Research Council: and a senior member of the Medical Research Council staff will be visiting the International Agency for Research in Cancer, Lyons, as well as various centres including the National Institute for Health in the United States of America.
