HC Deb 05 April 1984 vol 57 c644W
Mr. Meadowcroft

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what percentage of oxygen cylinders supplied to National Health Service patients is from the British Oxygen Company.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

I refer the hon. Member to my reply to him on 26 March at column61–62, in which I said that it is not possible to identify separately the cost of oxygen gas supplied in BOC cylinders from the total cost of oxygen gas used in the domiciliary oxygen therapy service.
