§ 43. Mr. Pavittasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will register the National Health Service with the Commision of the European Economic Community as a public service and issue instructions to British representatives involved that matters arising from directives issued under the Treaty of Rome shall be based on the designation of a public service.
§ Sir K. JosephNo such registration is necessary. As a member of the Community the United Kingdom will take part in the framing of Community directives on the health professions, and the interests of the National Health Service will be fully safeguarded.
