HC Deb 01 April 1930 vol 237 c1107W
Mr. FREEMAN

asked the Minister of Health whether there are any English members of the health organisation of the League of Nations; whether the publications of the health organisation are submitted to the representatives of each country represented on the health organisation; and what steps are taken by the Government of a country to bring to the notice of the health organisation any objections they may have to statements in the publications of the health organisation?

Miss LAWRENCE

The "Health Organisation" of the League of Nations includes the Health Committee, of which a medical officer of my Department is a member, and the Health Section of the Secretariat. The latter includes certain British members, but they are not appointed as representatives of this country. The answer to the second part of the question is in the negative. As regards the third part, it would be open to the Government concerned to communicate with the Secretary-General Of the League in the customary manner if in its opinion the circumstances required this course to be taken.
