HC Deb 01 November 1956 vol 558 cc182-3W
Mr. Viant

asked the Minister of Health how the United Kingdom representative voted upon the decision of the Ninth World Health Assembly to recommend a change in the form of the international certificate of vaccination or revaccination against smallpox ; and whether it is now his policy to accede to the proposed change.

Mr. Turton

The decision was adoptednemine dissentierte, but after further consideration Her Majesty's Government decided to reject the amended certificate on the ground that it no longer provided space for recording repeated attempts at primary vaccination.
