§ Mr. Ashleyasked the Minister of Overseas Development what representations have been made concerning the marketing and use of medical drugs in overseas countries to which the United Kingdom gives aid.
§ Mr. MoyleI have been asked to reply.
One. The Guyana Ministry of Health sought our assistance in ensuring that drugs it imported would be of proper quality. We provided lists of United Kingdom manufacturers licensed under the Medicines Act, which made it possible for the Government concerned to identify products which met the high standards on which we insist.
