Present:

THE QUEEN’S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY,
LORD PRESIDENT, MARQUESS OF LOTHIAN, LORD STEWARD.

WHEREAS by “The Medical Act, 1886,” it is provided, amongst other things, that We 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 British possession which, in our opinion, affords to the medical practitioners of the United Kingdom such privileges of practising in the said British possession as to Us may seem just; and from and after the day named in such Order in Council such British possession shall be deemed to be a British possession 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 British possession the said Second Part of the said Act shall not be deemed to apply to any such possession:

And whereas New Zealand is a British possession within the meaning of the said Act, and affords, in our opinion, to the registered medical practitioners of the United Kingdom such privileges of practising in New Zealand as to Us seems just, under and by virtue of the provisions of an Act of the General Assembly of New Zealand in Parliament assembled, and intituled “The Medical Practitioners Registration Act, 1869:”

Now, therefore, We do hereby, by and with the advice of our Privy Council, order, direct, and declare that, on and after the first day of June, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and eighty-seven, the Second Part of “The Medical Act, 1886,” shall be deemed to apply to New Zealand.
