HC Deb 13 January 1986 vol 89 cc498-9W
Mr. Ashley

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what recent representations he has received from the Debendox Action Group; when he received them; arid what reply he has sent.

Mr. Hayhoe

None. My predecessor met Action Group representatives in December 1984 and agreed to ask a consultant adviser or other qualified adviser in DHSS to consider evidence about Debendox which became available after the Committee on Safety of Medicines last considered the product in March 1983.

I am writing to the right hon. Member to let him have a progress report on this matter.
