Part of Oral Answers to Questions — Education and Science – in the House of Commons at 12:00 am on 6 May 1965.
Will my right hon. Friend realise that, due to the shortage of doctors, it would be necessary to have at least five new medical schools and even then they would be producing only 400 more doctors a year? If we get the medical schools, would my right hon. Friend site them in the industrial north of England because doctors tend to settle near where they have been trained? If he intends to expedite the number of students in medical schools, will he please abolish the quota for women which exists in the London medical schools, so that we may get the best people?
