HC Deb 09 July 1986 vol 101 c170W
Mr. Grylls

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he has any plans to increase the capability of the Medicines Inspectorate to inspect overseas production facilities.

Mr. Hayhoe

Twenty-five per cent. of the Medicines Inspectorate on-site time is spent in overseas production facilities. There are no proposals in the 1986–87 annual programme for increasing this figure.
