HC Deb 30 July 1924 vol 176 c2064
67. Sir A. BUTT

asked the Home Secretary whether, having regard to the deception, and often injury to their health, inflicted upon poor people by advertisers of patent medicines, who allege that they are capable of curing malignant diseases, he will introduce a Bill making it obligatory that all patent medicines shall state clearly on the labels the principal drugs they contain?

Mr. WHEATLEY

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply to a similar question by the hon. Member for Woolwich West on the 28th July.
