HC Deb 01 July 1983 vol 44 c179W
Mr. Greenway

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if, when considering Government policy in relation to the recommendations of the Greenfield report on generic prescribing, he will reject any proposals which might undermine the United Kingdom pharmaceutical industry; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

This is a very important consideration which I shall need to take into account before reaching any decision on the report's recommendation relating to generic substitution.
