§ Mr. Ashleyasked the Secretary of State for Social Services, pursuant to his reply on 9 July to the right hon. Member for Stoke-on-Trent, South, which activities of the Committee on Safety of Medicines are to be expanded following the forecast £123,000 increase in its resources for 1980–81 compared with 1979–80.
§ Dr. Vaughan[pursuant to the reply, 22 July 1980, c. 211]: The figures for the years 1979–80 and 1980–81 given in my previous reply to the right hon. Gentleman were estimates of actual costs.—[Vol. 988, c. 191–92.] Unlike the figures for earlier years, these were not revalued to November 1979 prices. The forecast for September 1980 to August 1981 allowed for increased costs for continuing broadly the current level of activity.
