Mr. Michael Morris
asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether it is his intention to seek to bring United Kingdom patent law for pharmaceuticals into line with the provisions of the European Patent Convention; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Pattie
In the few areas where the European Patent Convention and United Kingdom patent law make special provision for pharmaceuticals, they are in line. I do not consider that any action is required.
