Glaxosmithkline And Seroxat

EDM number 768 in 2006-07, proposed by Paul Flynn on 30/01/2007.

That this House challenges GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) to act on its vacuous threat to sue the BBC on its evidence that GSK had deliberately suppressed and distorted trial results of the anti-depressant Seroxat to conceal its direct links to suicide in teenagers; notes that GSK's own unpublished studies showed that the drug actually trebles the risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviour in depressed children without any proven benefit over placebos; urges the Medicine and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency to accelerate its criminal investigation into GSK begun three years ago; and looks forward to an early prosecution of a company that no longer deserves public trust.

This motion has been signed by a total of 15 MPs.
