HC Deb 13 November 1980 vol 992 c412W
Dr. Roger Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will assist overseas doctors who, in the rush to gain a place on a vocational training course before the deadline of 15 February, find themselves left out and discriminated against.

The National Health Service (Vocational Training) Regulations 1979 will apply in the same way to all doctors intending to provide general medical services and I see no reason to suppose that overseas doctors will be discriminated against or require special assistance.
