Ama

Sir,

I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of

your despatch No.40 of 2nd February, 1939, transmitting

the comments of the Minister of Health on the draft of

proposed new regulations under the Quarantine and

Prevention of Disease Ordinance, 1936, and to inform you that regulation No. 3(f) regarding quarantine

restrictions on account of typhus was based on the

Indian (Sanitary Control) Rules, 1936, and was included

in the draft on the assumption that this would be in

accordance with the wishes of the Public Health

authorities in India with which country this Colony

is in frequent communication.

2.

In view, however, of the comments of the

Minister of Health I am prepared to delete this

regulation if you consider such a course to be

desirable.

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

MALCOLM MACDONALD, M.P.,
