The Science and Technology Committee has written to the Science Minister David Willetts MP to express its opinion on Pfizer’s proposed takeover of AstraZeneca. The letter indicates that further ‘longer-term guarantees need to be obtained before we can be confident of Pfizer’s commitment to the UK’ and questions whether Pfizer can be held to account on any commitments.
