HC Deb 21 May 1990 vol 173 c42W
Sir Neil Macfarlane

To ask the Secretary of State for Health when he last formally met representatives of the British Generic Manufacturers Association; what issues were discussed; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

My right hon. and learned Friend the Secretary of State met representatives of the association at their request on 8 November 1989. He discussed matters of mutual interest in relation to original pack dispensing. Any further action would now be a matter for the commercial judgment of individual companies.
