HC Deb 09 March 1970 vol 797 c242W
Mr. Dickens

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will seek powers to control the upper age at which persons may apply for entry for medical training; and what is the Government's policy on this aspect of medical manpower.

Mr. Edward Short

Universities and medical schools are responsible for the selection and admission of their students, and I see no reason for seeking to change the present arrangements.
