HC Deb 06 May 1981 vol 4 cc77-8W
Mr. Marlow

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will take action to ensure that a non-EEC national, trained in another EEC country, requires the same standard of proficiency in the English language as any other non-EEC national wishing to practise medicine in the United Kingdom.

Dr. Vaughan

No further action is required. The registrar of the General Medical Council has to satisfy himself of the proficiency in English of a non-European Community national seeking registration to practise medicine in the United Kingdom wherever he was trained. There are no plans to change that arrangement.
