HC Deb 28 March 1957 vol 567 c133W
3. Mr. H. Wilson

asked the President of the Board of Trade to state the value of pharmaceutical products, other than anti-biotics, imported into this country from the United States of America, in 1951 and 1956, respectively.

Sir D. Eccles

Imports, of drugs, medicines and medicinal preparations, excluding antibiotics, from the United States were valued at £1.1 million in 1956. These goods were not separately specified in the trade returns for 1951, but imports in that year are estimated to have been of the same order as in 1956.
