§ Mr. Pavittasked the Secretary of State for Social Services why he has permitted manufacturers to advertise on Medicines Act data sheets the fact that they have received a Queen's Award to Industry.
§ Sir K. JosephAn association representing pharmaceutical manufacturers requested that the regulations relating to data sheets should contain a provision under which the device for the Queen's Award to Industry could be included among the particulars inserted. In the course of my Department's subsequent consultations with the Medicines Commission and the professional and other bodies concerned no objection was raised to this proposal. In the circumstances, I can see no good reason why I should seek to prevent a manufacturer who holds Her Majesty's grant of appointment which authorises him to display the device upon his letters, communications, packages and goods and in other ways, from doing so on a data sheet describing his product.
