HC Deb 07 March 2003 vol 400 c1263W
Mr. Pollard

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what discussions he has had with the National Pharmaceutical Association regarding the Office of Fair Trading recommendations on pharmacies; and if he will make a statement. [100493]

Mr. Lammy

I met the National Pharmaceutical Association on 4 February this year to hear their preliminary views on the Office of Fair Trading's report.

These views and the Association's formal response received last month will help inform the Government response which my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry is co-ordinating.
