The 'bargain bucket' deal is criticised, but government says it's 'misleading' to compare the delivery of chicken with medicines.
Ms Lucas said:"In the event of a no-deal Brexit the government has just decided that imports of medical supplies are to be handled by the same company that forced hundreds of restaurants to close because it was incapable of delivering chicken to KFC.
"So what guarantee can she give to patients who are watching us now, looking at this pantomime and farce in this House now, that they will be able to get their vital medicines when they need them in the event of that no-deal Brexit?"Mrs May replied:"The Department of Health and Social Care is taking the steps necessary to ensure that medicines are available.
"But if is so concerned about the impact of no-deal - and it's no good her shaking her head - there's a very simple answer: if she doesn't want no-deal, she should support the deal."
