HC Deb 25 May 1989 vol 153 c740W
49. Mr. Gareth Wardell

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether any consumer groups have written to him urging him to give a product licence for bovine somatotropin.

Mr. Donald Thompson

No. It would be inappropriate for any group to urge me to pre-empt the rigorous scientific evaluation of BST required by the Medicines Act.
