HC Deb 05 March 1976 vol 906 cc801-2W
Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if she will ensure that any increase of registration or retention fees for the registration of pharmacies under Part IV of the Medicines Act does not exceed 20 per cent. above the fees charged at present.

Dr. Owen

These fees were fixed in 1971 and the Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain has proposed an increase from £8 to £16. Before regulations prescribing revised fees are made I shall carefully consider the outcome of consultations on the Society's proposals.
