HC Deb 20 March 1989 vol 149 c473W
Dr. Godman

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what provisions there are to monitor the environmental effects and regulate the use of products used under the Medicines Act 1968, which are not licensed, including products prescribed by veterinary practitioners; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Donald Thompson

Products not licensed under the Medicines Act may be prescribed by veterinary practitioners for particular animals under their care, and in accordance with their professional judgment. The wide range of products involved is not a specific category for environmental monitoring purposes.
