§ Mr. PendryTo ask the Secretary of State for Health, pursuant to her answer of 7 February,Official Report, column 158, if she will list all seizures of anabolic steroids made by the Medicines Control Agency for each of the last five years.
§ Mr. SackvilleThe Medicines Control Agency does not keep separate statistics on the quantities of anabolic steroids seized as a result of its enforcement action.
However, investigations into the illegal trade in anabolic steroids remains a high priority of the MCA. During the last year, as a result of 28 investigations, anabolic steroids with a black market value of several million pounds were seized.
