HC Deb 22 March 1965 vol 709 cc9-10W
66. Mr. Woodburn

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware of the directive on branded medicines issued by the Council of Ministers of the European Economic Community; and whether he proposes to associate Great Britain with the regulations to govern the control of branded drugs to secure uniformity of safeguards.

Mr. Loughlin

Yes. The United Kingdom would not be affected unless this country became a member of the Community. The potential implications of the directive will, however, be borne in mind in the review of medicines legislation now in progress.
