HC Deb 23 July 1959 vol 609 c167W
Colonel Beamish

asked the Minister of Health for how many proprietary drugs satisfactory price agreements have now been concluded under the voluntary price-fixing scheme initiated by his Department, expressed as an approximate percentage of the total annual value of all proprietary drugs dispensed under the National Health Service.

Mr. Walker-Smith

The prices of some 4,000 proprietary drugs representing rather more than 80 per cent. by value of all proprietary drugs dispensed under the National Health Service have so far been accepted by reference to the various provisions of the voluntary price regulation scheme.
