HC Deb 13 May 1969 vol 783 c187W
Mr. Oakes

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he has now completed his review of procedure following the disposal from the Queens Warehouse of a large quantity of the drug meprobamate; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Harold Lever

The procedures for the disposal of drugs have been reviewed and found to be generally satisfactory. As an additional safeguard, arrangements are being made for future disposals to be carried out in consultation with the Department of Health and Social Security.
