(a) LEOAL PROFESSION
There is generally no objection to a foreign lawyer
going to the United Kingdom for a short visit to consult
and advise a colleague on a particular case. In such
circumstances he is given the same treatment as a busi-
ness visitor (i.e. admitted for a period of three months,
and free to transact business during his visit). Where,
however, his participation amounts to the actual prac-

advice, permission is dependent on the advice received
from the body controlling the profession in the United
Kingdom.
(b) MEDICAL PROFESSION
Same rules as for the legal profession.
