Mr. Meacher

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he is satisfied with current methods for drug pricing.

Sir K. Joseph

Yes. As I told the hon. Member for Willesden, West (Mr. Pavitt) on 20th November—[Vol. 864, c. 371–2]—the Voluntary Price Regulation Scheme is working as intended in providing a fair balance between the interests of the manufacturers and of my Department.
