No further cases of this disease have been notified in Rutland since the occurrence of two cases at Uppingham School during the week ended the 13th November. As regards the last part of the question, in the present state of knowledge of this disease it is the practice of my right hon. Friend's Department to recommend the Isolation of patients who have been attacked by it for a period of six weeks from the date of onset of the disease.
Mr John Gretton

Can the hon. Gentleman say what is the period during which eases or suspected cases should be isolated?
Sir Kingsley Wood
, Woolwich West
I should prefer my right hon. Friend to put that question on the Paper.
Ministers make up the Government and almost all are members of the House of Lords or the House of Commons. There are three main types of Minister. Departmental Ministers are in charge of Government Departments. The Government is divided into different Departments which have responsibilities for different areas. For example the Treasury is in charge of Government spending. Departmental Ministers in the Cabinet are generally called 'Secretary of State' but some have special titles such as Chancellor of the Exchequer. Ministers of State and Junior Ministers assist the ministers in charge of the department. They normally have responsibility for a particular area within the department and are sometimes given a title that reflects this - for example Minister of Transport.
