Medicines Commission

HC Deb 15 July 1992 vol 211 cc746-7W

Mr. Hague

To ask the Secretary of State for Health when she expects to receive the annual report of the Medicines Commission for 1991.

Dr. Mawhinney

We have received the report, and copies have today been laid before both Houses of Parliament in accordance with the requirements of section 5(2) of the Medicines Act 1968.

Bound volumes have been placed in the Library containing the 1991 reports of the Medicines Commission, the Committee on Safety of Medicines, the Committee on Dental and Surgical Materials, the Committee on the Review of Medicines, the British Pharmacopoeia Commission and the Veterinary Products Committee.

We are glad to pay tribute to the valuable work done by the distinguished members of the Medicines Act advisory bodies and thank them warmly for the time and effort which they contribute to the public interest in this most important field.
