I support the Minister on this issue. I declare an interest in that I have just tabled a Question for Written Answer to ask about the abuse of prescription drugs in this country, because I have been advised that a very high proportion of drugs that are prescribed are re-exported by foreign nationals who have no proof of identity when they collect them, often with slightly doubtful prescriptions, and they do not pay. I flag up that I have some sympathy that it would be terribly helpful to pharmacists and others if there was proof of identity for foreigners who have prescribed drugs and who should pay.
