Medicines Commission

HC Deb 17 July 1996 vol 281 cc562-3W

Mrs. Lait

To ask the Secretary of State for Health when he expects to receive the annual report of the Medicines Commission for 1995. [38215]

Mr. Malone

We have received the report, and copies have today been laid before both Houses of Parliament in accordance with the requirements of section 5(2) of the Medicines Act 1968.

Bound volumes have been placed in the Library containing the 1995 reports of the Medicines Commission, the Committee on Safety of Medicines, the Advisory Board on the Registration of Homoeopathic Products, the British Pharmacopoeia Commission and the Veterinary Products Committee.

We are glad to pay tribute to the valuable work done by the distinguished members of the Medicines Act advisory bodies and thank them warmly for the time and effort which they contribute in the public interest to this most important field.
