Speaking in the House of Lords on 23 February 2026

Debate

Medical Training (Prioritisation) Bill

Contribution

The Government have already gone to considerable lengths in the Bill to prioritise graduates from the Republic of Ireland who have studied there. That is the right thing to do in the context of the Bill, and it reflects the nature of the relationship between the UK and Ireland, which is unlike our relationship with any other country. Equivalent treatment for graduates of Irish universities reflects that relationship.
