Written question asked by Nick Hurd (Conservative) on Tuesday, 21 November 2006, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Thursday, 23 November 2006. It was answered by Ian McCartney (Labour) on Thursday, 30 November 2006 on behalf of the Department of Trade and Industry.
Pfizer
- Question
- (2) if he will refer the proposal by Pfizer to sell its products through a single distribution channel from early 2007 to the Office of Fair Trading for review; and if he will make a statement.
- Answer
-
The Department for Trade and Industry does not make assessments of competition in particular markets. Under the UK competition framework this is a matter for the Office of Fair Trading (OFT), which is the independent statutory body responsible for investigating competition issues which may affect markets. Therefore, any decision to investigate the new distribution channel put in operation by Pfizer is a matter for the OFT.
