§ Mr. Pavittasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he has discussed with the drug company concerned the employment of attractive young female representatives to call on family doctors for sales promotion of drugs prescribed in the National Health Service, information about which he has received from the hon. Member for Willesden, West; and what is his policy on this form of drug promotion, in the light of the operation of the voluntary price regulation scheme.
§ Sir K. JosephI have had no such discussions, nor do I intend to. I expect to see the reasonable cost of sales promotion, including the cost of representatives of either sex, in the returns I receive under the scheme.
