Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many prosecutions of pharmaceutical companies withholding information from the Medicines & Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency have occurred in the last twenty years.

While the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency’s (MHRA) records dating back to 2003 are incomplete, it is unable to identify any prosecutions that have occurred as a result of a pharmaceutical company withholding information.
