HC Deb 05 May 1976 vol 910 c400W
Mr. Molloy

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he is satisfied with the health control administration at Heathrow Airport; and if he will make a statement.

Dr. Owen

The London Borough of Hillingdon is responsible for the administration of port health control at Heathrow Airport on my behalf. Medical staff take the measures necessary to safeguard public health in accordance with the Public Health (Aircraft) Regulations 1970 and co-operate with Home Office immigration officers.

I have no reason to be dissatisfied with the administration, but if my hon. Friend will let me know of any particular aspect causing concern I shall look into the matter.
