HC Deb 12 May 1982 vol 23 cc275-6W
Dr. Roger Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he has studied the report by the Irish Medical Association that medical school intake should be halved and that every EEC country was over-producing medical graduates; and if he will reconsider the rate of medical student entry in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

I am not aware of a report such as that to which the hon. Member refers but I would not accept that the United Kingdom is over-producing medical graduates.
