HC Deb 20 March 1967 vol 743 c181W
Dame Irene Ward

asked the Minister of Health when he will implement the recommendation of the Dunlop Committee on the labelling of medicines.

Mr. K. Robinson

Any alteration of the present convention governing the labelling of dispensed medicines is a matter' for the medical and pharmaceutical professions in the first instance. They agreed in 1966 on a simple conventional sign whereby the doctor can indicate that the dispensed medicine is to be named on the label, and I understand that they still have the matter under active consideration.
