HC Deb 23 March 1983 vol 39 c427W
Mr. Mike Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether, pursuant to his reply to the hon. Member for Newcastle upon Tyne, East of 7 March, Official Report, c. 326, the figures for retail pharmacists include the sums retained from chemists' remuneration pending the results of the current discount inquiry and the offset retained by the Government against the increased profit awarded by the Franks panel.

Mr. Geoffrey Finsberg

No. The figures given are the actual amounts recovered from reimbursement to pharmacists.
