§ Mr. Pavittasked the Minister of Health what is his estimate of the cost to the hospital service of ampicillin, cloxacillin, methicillin, and phenethicillin in the last year; and whether, in placing orders for these drugs, he will take into account the donations given by the company concerned and published with its annual report and accounts.
§ Mr. K. RobinsonApproximately £1 million; such donations could be disallowed and treated as profit in calculating profitability for the purpose of price negotiation, but in this instance the sum involved is negligible in relation to turnover.
