Speaking in the House of Lords on 23 February 2026
Debate
Medical Training (Prioritisation) BillContribution
I do not intend to divide the House today, as I agree with the principle of the Bill and do not wish to delay it. Instead, I invite the Minister to confirm from the Dispatch Box that she will work with colleagues across government, universities and interested parties to agree a clear mechanism, whether by guidance or memorandum, that secures consistency for Maltese doctors needing to finish their training. I also ask her to commit to reviewing the impact of this legislation on the small numbers of affected students, including the refugee doctors we have just heard about, while fully preserving the Government’s policy intent. I genuinely look forward to working with the Minister to get this right together. Thank you.
