§ Sir R. Russellasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will seek powers to require visitors from countries abroad which have no reciprocal arrangements for medical care to produce on 193W entry a certificate of insurance cover against illness while they are in Great Britain, in view of the fact that the Government advises British citizens to take out such insurance cover when they go abroad.
§ Sir K. JosephNo. The advice given to British citizens is for their own protection, but no foreign Government require British visitors to produce certificates of insurance. It would, in any case, be administratively impracticable to impose such a requirement on foreign visitors to this country.
