HC Deb 26 June 1922 vol 155 c1688W
Lieut.-Colonel HILDER

asked the Home Secretary whether the quarantine precautions against the introduction of smallpox, plague, and other infectious and contagious diseases in human kind are still enforced in the case of citizens of His Majesty's Dominions overseas, as well as in the case of foreigners?

Sir A. MOND

The Quarantine Acts were repealed in 1896. The measures now adopted for preventing the introduction of infectious disease into this country are based on the provisions of international conventions, and no distinction is made between persons of British and foreign nationality.
