HC Deb 18 June 1991 vol 193 c146W
19. Mr. Hind

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he has reached any conclusions on licensing RU 486; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

I am afraid that I am unable to make a statement today regarding the licensing of RU 486. This is because of the obligation of confidentiality imposed upon Ministers and the Medicines Control Agency by virtue of section 118 of the Medicines Act 1968.
