Mr. Beswickasked the Minister of Health, as representing the Lord President of the Council, what progress has been made towards the drafting of regulations by the General Dental Council which will facilitate the registration of those dentists with foreign qualifications, to whom reference was made during the passage of the Dentists Act; and if, in view of the toll which time is taking of these dentists and the fact that only 12 are now affected, he will ensure that there is no further delay in dealing with this matter.
§ Mr. VosperI cannot yet add to the reply which I gave to the hon. Member for Kirkdale (Mr. N. Pannell) on 18th February.
§ 69. Mr. Beswickasked the Minister of Health, as representing the Lord President of the Council, how many refugees from Hungary have applied and have been placed on the United Kingdom dental register.

One of the three has also applied for and obtained temporary registration to enable him to take up a hospital appointment.
