HC Deb 02 February 1959 vol 599 c11W
92. Mr. Orbach

asked the Minister of Health what caused the fall in prices in the supply of cortisone and cortisone derivatives to purchasing authorities under his control during the last half of 1958, bearing in mind that prior to that date there had been no important variation in prices for two years; to what extent this was due to competition and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Walker-Smith

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to the hon. Member for Knutsford (Lieut.-Colonel Bromley-Davenport) on 26th January.
