§ Mr. John EvansTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is his policy on the introduction of a fourth criterion in addition to those of quality, safety and efficacy with regard to animal products tested under the Medicines Act 1968.
§ Mr. MacleanThe purpose of the licensing under the Medicines Act is to protect public and animal health and I do not believe that socio-economic or other additional criteria contribute to this purpose.
