HC Deb 29 March 1971 vol 814 c276W
Dr. Summerskill

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many Commonwealth doctors came to practise in Great Britain in 1968, 1969 and in 1970.

Mr. Alison

The numbers of Commonwealth doctors who entered Great Britain with Category B employment vouchers were 986, 997, and 400 respectively. In addition, a number of doctors who came to the country as postgraduate students or working holiday makers entered practice, but figures in respect of them are not available.
