§ Mr. Rhodesasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the policy of the Government with regard to Recommendation No. 562 on the administration of environmental health systems, which was adopted by the Consultative Assembly of the Council of Europe on 30th September, 1969; and whether they will comply with the proposals made therein, in particular, with regard to paragraph 6(b)(i).
§ Mr. CrossmanThis recommendation was addressed to the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe, who have not yet reached any decision on it. Until they have done so it would be premature for Her Majesty's Government to announce their policy towards the recommendation.
