HC Deb 24 June 1968 vol 767 cc85-6

POWERS TO REGULATE ADVERTISEMENTS AND REPRESENTATIONS

Mr. Snow

I beg to move Amendment No. 79 in page 76, line 41, to leave out 'and' and to insert 'to'.

This is consequential to Amendment No. 281 which was accepted by the Standing Committee on 14th May. On that occasion my right hon. Friend pointed out that as subsection (1,b) of what was then Clause 86 stood, the regulations could specify diseases and conditions for the treatment of which medicinal products in general were not to be advertised, but they could not particularise as to any classes of medicinal products which were not to be advertised in this way.

That Amendment had the effect of splitting that paragraph (b) into two and although what was then paragraph (c) has been renumbered (d) it is now necessary to include in subsection (7) a reference to both parts of the old paragraph (b) now numbered (c) and (d).

Amendment agreed to.

Forward to
