HC Deb 21 January 1993 vol 217 c389W
Mr. Nigel Griffiths

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will review the procedures for licensing tobacco substitute patches and other products to prevent them from being sold prior to the licence being granted; and if she will make a statement.

Dr. Mawhinney

I am satisfied with the licensingn arrangements in place for the licensing of medicinal products. Any unlicensed product on sale, which is brought to the attention of the Medicines Control Agency as making medicinal claims, will be investigated by its enforcement unit.
