Lord Prior of Brampton
My Lords, this issue goes back to the 1950s, so trawling back over that period may not be that helpful. What is helpful is that we learn lessons from the past so that the existing regulatory system can learn from those errors. I am, however, very happy to meet the noble Lord and others who are interested to discuss this further, if they wish to do so.
Baroness Walmsley (LD)
My Lords, given that many of the survivors of Primodos, the drug in question here, were not told that they were taking part in a clinical trial, will the noble Lord assure us that today nobody would take part in a clinical trial without their knowledge?
Lord Prior of Brampton
My Lords, I understand that to be the case but I will double-check and, if it is not, I will of course write to the noble Baroness.
