§ Mr. Peter Morrisonasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if there is any difference in the qualifications required for United Kingdom residents and foreigners to gain entry into medical schools.

I understand, however, that, as applications for medical courses considerably exceed the number of places available, some medical schools do not consider overseas candidates who are able to study medicine in their own countries.
