§ Dame Joan Vickersasked the Secretark of State for Social Services whether the Government accepts Recommendation No. 608 on the Improvement of the Dental Condition of Populations of Council of Europe member States (odontological questions) which was adopted by the Consultative Assembly of the Council of Europe on 21st September, 1970; and whether they will instruct their representative in the Committee of Ministers to vote for the 50W immediate inclusion in their programme of work of the questions mentioned in paragraph 5 of the recommendation.
§ Mr. AlisonThe Council of Europe's Committee of Ministers has deferred consideration of the Recommendation pending the receipt of advice from the European Public Health Committee. Her Majesty's Government's instructions to their representative in the Commitee of Ministers will naturally have regard to that advice but, broadly speaking, it is expected that their attitude will be favourable.
