HC Deb 20 November 1940 vol 365 c2004W
Mr. G. Strauss

asked the Home Secretary whether German and Austrian doctors who had passed their English medical degree and were previously attached to public hospitals, and whose loyalty is not in question, may now be allowed to resume work in the hospitals including those in which members of the armed forces may be patients?

Mr. Peake

It has now been decided that, subject to certain conditions, German and Austrian doctors who have obtained a British medical qualification, or who have received permission to study for a British degree, may be allowed to work in hospitals which are situated outside the aliens protected areas notwithstanding that the hospital may provide treatment for members of H.M. Forces.
