HC Deb 25 October 1971 vol 823 c278W
Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is his estimate of the saving in the drug bill of the National Health Service if it purchased its supplies of chromic anhydride at the price at which it was offered before an antidumping duty of £50 per ton was imposed.

Mr. Alison

None, so far as I am aware. This substance is not a drug and I would not expect there to be any indirect effect on drug costs.
