64. Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will now reconsider his policy regarding the overpayment made in previous years by the National Health Service for drugs purchased from manufacturers which have parent companies in the United States of America, where, as a result of recent law suits in the United States of America, substantial sums have been now repaid.

Sir K. Joseph

The position remains as I stated in my reply to the hon. Member's questions on 21st January.—[Vol. 829, c.287–8.]
