HC Deb 19 December 1969 vol 793 cc479-80W
Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services (1) if he will take steps to prohibit the supply of J. Collis Browne's compound except on a doctor's prescription;

(2) if he will now invite the Medicines Commission to examine the issue of a general licence for the manufacture of J. Collis Browne's Compound.

Dr. John Dunwoody

I am not satisfied that restriction of this preparation to supply on prescription only would be justified, nor do I see any reason to involve the Medicines Commission in advance of the introduction of licensing under the Medicines Act.
