§ 33. Mr. Sorensenasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies approximately how many foreigners or persons whose qualifications were secured in foreign countries have obtained British registration for medical or dental service in the Colonies.
§ Mr. J. GriffithsOn the assumption that my hon. Friend refers to doctors and dentists with foreign qualifications in colonial Government employment who are registered in the United Kingdom, the answer is 37 doctors and two dentists. There are also a few doctors in the employment of colonial Governments who are not registered in the United Kingdom.
§ Mr. SorensenAs there are a number of doctors with foreign qualifications who could well be used in colonial areas, what steps are being taken to enable these doctors, especially those living in this country, to secure British registration?
§ Mr. GriffithsI should be glad if my hon. Friend would put that Question down. It is very important and I should prefer to see it on the Order Paper before reply.
