Proceeding contribution from Brian Iddon (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 8 December 2005. It occurred during Estimates day on Department of Health.


Department of Health

Does my right hon. Friend agree that counterfeit drugs are an increasing problem and that many counterfeit drugs are introduced into our country via parallel trading? Does he also agree that legislation is needed to combat the introduction of counterfeit drugs into the market? Unfortunately the drugs that are being counterfeited are those that are most commonly used—obviously, they are the best sellers, which give the most profit to the counterfeiter.
