Whether a copy of the Code of Practice for the Protection of Persons against Ionizing Radiations arising from Medical and Dental Use, published by the Department of Health and Social Security, is available at the Offices of the High Commission in Dacca; and whether consultants who are asked to X-ray applicants for entry certificates are required to observe this code.
