Speaking in the House of Lords on 23 February 2026

Debate

Medical Training (Prioritisation) Bill

Contribution

There is also a question of consistency. These campuses are not independent foreign providers; they are integral parts of UK public universities. Any surplus is ploughed straight back into the London campus. It is difficult to justify a framework that prioritises graduates trained in wholly separate third-country systems while excluding graduates of UK universities who received identical GMC-approved programmes. That risks privileging geography over substantive equivalence.
