HC Deb 08 December 1967 vol 755 cc426-8W
Mr. Pavitt

asked the Minister of Health if, with regard to those drug manufacturers in Great Britain which are controlled by United States parents companies, he will take steps to remove the veto placed upon exporting some of their products.

Mr. K. Robinson

I have no such powers and I am not aware of any limitation of export capacity imposed on British subsidiaries by their United States parent companies which would justify my seeking to intervene.
