HC Deb 08 February 1999 vol 325 c111W
Dr. Cable

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment how many work permits issued for nurses in each of the last five years were(a) newly admitted one year work permits, (b) one year work permit renewals and (c) new work permits of over one year duration. [68577]

Ms Hodge

For the information requested at points(a) and (c) I refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave on 18 January 1999, Official Report,column 349.

The information requested at (b) is not available as work permit records do not link applications for renewal of a permit with the period for which the permit was originally approved.
