Whether there are further disbursements of monies received, or other contractual arrangements between landowners and tenants, is entirely a matter for the parties concerned.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Gardiner of Kimble question first answered 03/01/2017 12:00:01 answering member 4161 label Biography information for Lord Gardiner of Kimble

tabling member printed	Lord Hunt of Kings Heath
uin	HL4255
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/02/2015 answer text <p>The Cancer Drugs Fund (CDF) panel considered the use of regorafenib after two previous tyrosine kinase inhibitors in non-resectable or metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumours to offer sufficient clinical benefit to potentially remain included in the CDF.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>However the CDF panel noted that although the patient numbers treated with regorafenib for gastrointestinal stromal tumours were small (less than 100 per year), regorafenib had a European approved indication in the treatment of bowel cancer, a much more common cancer. The panel therefore noted that regorafenib had a potential funding stream from its licensed use in bowel cancer and thus did not fulfil the condition for use of the scoring system for very rare indications.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Earl Howe question first answered 02/02/2015 12:09:59 answering member 2000 label Biography information for Earl Howe
