HC Deb 08 November 1977 vol 938 c53W
Mr. Carter-Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what trials of the effect of large and small doses of alpha-tocopherol on human ailments have been undertaken; where these trials took place; when they were undertaken; how long they lasted; what dosages were given; under what conditions the tests were carried out; what were the results of the tests; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Moyle

The licensing authority has not granted a clinical trial certificate under the Medicines Act 1968 for any preparations of alpha-tocopherol (Vitamin E), although trials may have been conducted in other countries or by medical practitioners on their own initiative.
