HC Deb 03 May 1973 vol 855 cc329-30W
13. Mrs. Joyce Butler

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will consult the Secretary of State for Social Services with a view to removing vaginal sprays from the category of toilet preparations and reclassify them as proprietary medicines under the Medicines Act.

Mr. Lane

As I have no evidence that any such products on sale in this country are dangerous, I propose to await the publication of the expected EEC directive on cosmetics and toilet preparations. This will contain requirements relating to both composition and labelling.
