Mr. Blenkinsopasked the Secretary State for the Colonies whether he will give an undertaking that the Governor of Hong Kong will not issue a proclamation bringing into force Clause 27 of the Medical Registration Bill, 1957, until he is satisfied that no free clinics will be closed or hold fewer sessions as a result of the proclamation.
§ Mr. ProfumoThe matter is one primarily for the Hong Kong Government to decide. I understand that arrangements have been made by that Government to defer the operation of Section 27 of the Bill until 1st January, 1958.
