28th Nov 2024
To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have, if any, to include information about the full cost of medications during prescription collections.

There are currently no plans to introduce measures that detail the actual cost of medicines, for instance by displaying this on the medicine label, to patients collecting their National Health Service prescriptions.

Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care)

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the expiration of the New START treaty; and what implications of this they anticipate for nuclear arms control and disarmament.

The New START Treaty was a bilateral agreement between the United States and Russian Federation; any replacement treaty is a matter for the US and Russia. Genuine and verifiable strategic arms control among the largest Nuclear Weapons States can be a positive step for global security. However, following Russia's decision to suspend participation in New START verification measures in 2023, future approaches need to be based on concrete, and verifiable actions. The UK regularly raises issues related to strategic risk reduction through the P5 process.
