HERBAL REMEDIES

Early day motion 210, tabled 15 December 1999 by Nick Palmer (Labour). Signed by 2 members.

That this House notes EDM 188 concerning St John's Wort and the Medicines Control Agency; but is puzzled by the fact that food products with no claims to medicinal effects are described as 'remedies' and seeks clarification of what is being remedied other than the manufacturer's bank balance.

Signatures by party: Labour 2.
