HC Deb 11 February 1963 vol 671 c131W
67. Mr. Mathew

asked the Minister of Health if he will take steps to enforce more strongly the requirement for the production of an international certificate of vaccination by all immigrants from areas where vaccination is not compulsory.

Mr. Powell

I am proposing, in accordance with a recommendation of the Public Health Committee of the Council of Europe, to make these certificates compulsory for all travellers from endemic and local infected smallpox areas.
