HC Deb 06 December 1994 vol 251 cc191-2W
Mrs. Bridget Prentice

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what steps she is taking to compel drug manufacturers to disclose the results of tests on the safety and effectiveness of drugs.

Mr. Sackville

This information is required by the United Kingdom licensing authority, which has an overriding obligation to safeguard public health. It is supplied in confidence to the Medicines Control Agency and we have no plans to require companies to make it publicly available.
