HL Deb 02 July 1981 vol 422 cc401-2WA
Lord Avebury

asked Her Majesty's Government:

When the guidelines for port medical officers were last updated, and whether they will place the latest issue in the Library of the House of Lords.

Lord Cullen of Ashbourne

The responsibilities of port medical officers are set out in the national and international public health legislation which they enforce; no guidelines are issued centrally. Instructions are, however, issued to medical inspectors of immigrants concerning medical examination under the Immigration Act 1971. An appendix to the Yellowlees Report, a copy of which is already in the Library of the House of Lords, contains the instructions issued in 1974.
