HC Deb 13 November 1918 vol 110 c2696W
Mr. CECIL HARMSWORTH

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he is aware that under existing conditions medical men from British Columbia are prevented from registering in Great Britain unless they take a British degree; if this is in consequence of arrangements made by the Foreign Office with one or more Foreign and Allied countries; and if any such regulations can be suspended in view of the present great lack of medical men?

Mr. LONG

The difficulty in question arises from the fact that it had not been possible to arrange for such reciprocity between the United Kingdom and British Columbia as is considered to be necessary before an Order in Council can be issued applying the second part of the Medical Act, 1886, to that Province.
