HC Deb 29 November 1949 vol 470 c83W
71. Mr. Piratin

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury what are the qualities sought for by the boards of medical schools in determining the suitability for the medical profession; and if he is satisfied that these qualifications, other than scholastic, are such as do not prejudice the acceptance of working-class students.

Mr. Glenvil Hall:

The selection of candidates is entirely a matter for the authorities concerned and the medical schools are no exception to this general rule. I have no reason to suppose that the basis of selection adopted is in any way prejudicial to students from working class homes.
