§ Mr. Patrick Jenkinasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will list in theOfficial Report those medical journals, magazines and newspapers which are received by his Department, showing which of them are on the list of those approved by his Department.
§ Mr. EnnalsMy Department receives some 1,300 journals, newspapers and magazines, many of which, though not strictly speaking medical, have a medical interest. It would not be economic to print the list in theOfficial Report, but I am sending an annotated copy to the right hon. Member. No approved list is maintained, as such. If the right hon. Member has in mind the reduction in the level of expenditure on sales promotion which is allowed as a cost, under the Voluntary Price Regulation Scheme, in assessing whether a company's profits are reasonable, I refer him to my reply to the hon. Member for Brent, South (Mr. Pavitt) on 14th June.—[Vol. 913, c.42–3.]
