In respect of the Pitcairn Islands, the Ministry of Health of the United Kingdom sent to the Director-General the following communication dated 18 March 1955î "It may not hitherto have been made clear that the reservation submitted in respect of Fiji (and its dependency) was intended to apply equally to the Pitcairn Islands, which is a separate territory but is jointly administered with Fiji. To remove doubts, the Pitcairn Islands are now shown separately with a reservation against Article 100 of the Regulations in the form in which it was accepted by the World Health Assembly for Fiji." The Director-General replied to the Ministry of Health on 29 March 1955 as follows* "I note that the reservation submitted in respect of Fiji and its dependency was intended to apply equally to the Pitcairn Islands jointly administered with Fiji. After considering this matter I have decided, subject to the usual reservation that the interpretation of resolutions of the Health Assembly is a function of the Health Assembly itself, to include the Pitcairn Islands in publications and notifications made by this Organization, as being subject to the same reservations in respect of Article 100 as Fiji and the other territories comprising the Western Pacific Islands as notified to the Director-General by your Government on 28 April 1953."
