§ 17. Mr. Peter Remnantasked the Minister of Health what is the present production of aureomycin in this country; and what percentage is being exported.
§ Mr. CrookshankThe manufacture of aureomycin is completed in South Wales from bulk aureomycin imported at considerable dollar cost. A proportion of the output is being exported without prejudicing present needs in this country. In fairness to the makers, I think that the precise figures should not be disclosed.
§ Mr. RemnantIs my right hon. Friend satisfied that this export, such as it is, is justified when the home demand has not yet been fully met?
§ Mr. CrookshankYes, Sir, at present.
