HC Deb 27 February 1958 vol 583 c80W
Mr. Viant

asked the Minister of Health whether, in view of the confusion caused by a yearly period being used by the World Health Organisation division on the functioning of the International Sanitary Regulations, which differs from that used in the yearly records of all diseases given in the statistical publications of the Organisation, and of the fact that the yearly period used by the division does not cover the actual year it purports to refer to, he will make representations with a view to arranging that the year for records of all departments of the World Health Organisation in respect of diseases shall run from 1st January to 31st December.

Mr. Walker-Smith

I will convey the hon. Member's suggestion to the World Health Organisation.
