§ Mr. McCrindleasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will ensure that where overseas doctors lose the right to practise in the United Kingdom in the next year and in succeeding years, their posts are offered to jobless British doctors.
§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeNo. The suggestion is neither necessary nor practicable. I am not persuaded that there is any significant number of British trained doctors unable to find posts to practise for any length of time at the moment.
