HC Deb 04 May 1972 vol 836 cc185-6W
48. Mr. Latham

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will consider extending the visas of qualified nurses once they have completed their training so that they may continue to serve for one or two years at the particular hospital at which they have trained.

Mr. Lane

Nurses from overseas who seek to stay on in this country when qualified are normally allowed to do so if they propose to make full use of the qualifications they have acquired. But it is not the practice to restrict employment to particular hospitals.
