HC Deb 12 May 1992 vol 207 c84W
Mr. Simon Hughes

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will issue an approval for the use of recycled chlorofluorocarbons in asthma inhalers and preparation of other medicinal products; and if she will make a statement.

Dr. Mawhinney

Approval for the sale or supply of any medicinal product in the United Kingdom is given following an application which satisfies the Licensing Authority in respect of safety, quality and efficacy as laid down in the Medicines Act; an application for a medicinal product containing recycled chlorofluorocarbons would therefore be subject to those criteria.
