HC Deb 16 January 1984 vol 52 c131W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what action he is taking to increase United Kingdom exports of generic pharmaceuticals to non-Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development countries.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

The export of pharmaceuticals, including generics, is a matter for the industry and will naturally be governed by the orders from importing countries. Pharmaceutical exporters have access to the help and advice available from Government sources to the generality of exporters.
