HC Deb 09 March 1970 vol 797 cc222-3W
Dr. Summerskill

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will take steps to ensure that manufacturers of oral contraceptives are required to include a leaflet in every package telling of known hazards and possible side effects.

Mr. Crossman

I do not think that a manufacturer's leaflet about the hazards of oral contraceptives would be the best way of giving an individual patient appropriate warning or advice.
