§ Dr. M. S. Millerasked the Secretary of State for Social Services (1) what results of tests carried out on so-called starch blockers such as Calorex are available to him; and if he will make a statement;
(2) if he will take steps to commission further research into so-called starch blockers such as Calorex.
§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeI do not have any evidence to suggest a need to commission research into starch blockers. I do not have results of any tests on these products. We are considering whether Calorex requires a licence as a medicinal product.
