HC Deb 11 February 1983 vol 36 cc487-8W
Mr. Ashley

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services, pursuant to his answer of 25 January, Official Report, c. 397, if he will give details of the limits on sales promotion of drugs; and if he will express the £18 million expenditure on sales promotion, which was disallowed, as a percentage of the total spent on sales promotion.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

In 1980 £18.6 million expenditure on sales promotion was disallowed. This represented 17.8 per cent. of total sales promotion expenditure in that year.
