HC Deb 12 December 1960 vol 632 c21
41. Mr. K. Robinson

asked the Minister of Health what changes he intends to make in the voluntary price regulation scheme for drugs following his review of the scheme.

Mr. Powell

This matter is still under consideration.

Mr. Robinson

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that, in the light of the very sharp criticisms of the scheme by the Public Accounts Committee and the excessive profits of some drug manufacturers, we look forward to substantial changes in the scheme? Is he able to tell the House when he is likely to make an announcement on this matter?

Mr. Powell

Not yet, Sir.
