Thalidomide

EDM number 479 in 1995-96, proposed by Eddie Loyden on 21/02/1996.

That this House calls on the Secretary of State for Health to make a statement on the importing of the drug Thalidomide from Brazil; reminds the Secretary of State of the undertaking given at a meeting with the victims of Thalidomide that the drug would only be used for named cases under strict control; and notes that Brazil continues to suffer from current cases of thalidomide birth which must cast doubt on the quality of the imported drugs.

This motion has been signed by a total of 35 MPs.
