HC Deb 06 February 1967 vol 740 c205W
62. Dr. Summerskill

asked the Minister of Health if he will take steps to withdraw the oral contraceptive pill from circulation until investigations as to its safety have been completed.

Mr. K. Robinson

I am advised by the Committee on Safety of Drugs that the inquiries it is conducting have not disclosed any grounds for opposing the marketing of oral contraceptives. I therefore see no reason to ask manufacturers to withdraw them.
