HC Deb 21 June 1995 vol 262 c258W
Mr. Flynn

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what proposals she has to reduce the availability of appetite suppressant drugs. [29305]

Mr. Sackville

Proposals are being considered to limit the availability of appetite suppressants by way of an order under section 62 of the Medicines Act 1968 to situations in which there exists a clear medical need for such products. The Medicines Control Agency is currently consulting those with an interest in this subject on the form that such an order might take.
