HC Deb 07 July 1978 vol 953 cc317-8W
Mr. Gordon Wilson

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will give notice in writing to pharmaceutical companies or suppliers placed on the National Health Service pay guidelines black list so that they may have the opportunity to appeal against inclusion.

Mr. Joel Barnett

Any firm against which the Government decide to take dis- cretionary action is warned in writing well in advance that it is liable to such action.
