Requirement of linguistic knowledge. 20B.(1) A national of a member State who applies to be registered in the general part of the register shall be required, on or after registration in that part, to satisfy the Council that he has the necessary knowledge of English, that is, the knowledge which, in the interests of himself and his patients, is necessary to render nursing services in the United Kingdom. (2) The Council may provide facilities for testing the knowledge of English of applicants for registration. (3) Subject to subsection (4) below, if the applicant does not, on being registered, satisfy the Council under this section, the registration shall lapse at the end of the period of six months beginning with the date of registration unless, in that period, he satisfies the Council that he has the necessary knowledge of English. (4) The Council may extend the period referred to in subsection (3) above (by not more than another six months) if it appears to them that there are grounds for doing so in a particular case. (5) A person whose registration has lapsed by virtue of subsection (3) above and who subsequently applies to be registered in the general part of the register is not entitled to be so registered unless, at the time of his application, he satisfies the Council that he has the necessary knowledge of English.]
