Health officials intimated today that delays in permitting manufacture of an oral contraceptive pill stemmed from considerations of a social and moral nature and from the Government’s policy of encouraging large families.
A local drug company said the delay was endangering possibilities of establishing an export trade in such contraceptives. The company said it had already received large orders for the pill from a number of Far Eastern countries.
