HC Deb 13 December 1989 vol 163 c692W
Mr. Ron Davies

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what elements of the veterinary products committee examination of bovine somatotropin have not yet been completed.

Mr. Maclean

The veterinary products committee has yet to submit its recommendations on any of the BST products for which licence applications have been made. I understand that in accordance with the Medicines Act the committee is still reviewing a range of matters with the help of data being generated in field trials.
