BRITISH ORDER IN COUNCIL applying the Second Part of the Medical Act, 1886, to Belgium. London, January 7, 1915.* At the Court at Buckingham Palace, the 7th day of January, 1915. PRESENT: THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. Lord President. Lord Chamberlain. Sir Maurice de Bunsen. WHEREAS by the Medical Act, 1886†, it is provided (amongst other things) that His Majesty may, from time to time, by Order in Council, declare that the Second Part of the said Act shall be deemed, on and after a day to be named in such Order, to apply to any Foreign Country which in His Majesty's opinion affords to the medical practitioners of the United Kingdom such privileges of practising in the said Foreign Country as to His Majesty may seem just, and from and after the day named in such Order in Council such Foreign Country shall be deemed to be a Foreign Country to which the said Act applies, within the meaning of the Second Part thereof, and that until such Order in Council has been made in respect of any Foreign Country the said Second Part of the said Act shall not be deemed to apply to any such Country. And whereas the Kingdom of Belgium affords, in His Majesty's opinion, to the registered medical practitioners of the United Kingdom such privileges of practising in Belgium as to His Majesty seems just, during the continuance of the present War. Now, therefore, His Majesty doth hereby, by and with the advice of His Privy Council, order, direct, and declare that the Second Part of the Medical Act, 1886, shall be deemed, from the date of this Order, to apply to the Kingdom of Belgium, until it is otherwise ordered.
