HC Deb 21 September 1931 vol 256 c1281
39. Mr. CAMPBELL

asked the Home Secretary whether any report has been received from the British delegate to the international conference recently held at Geneva in reference to the limitation of the manufacture of narcotic drugs; and whether the scheme advocated by him and by the advisory opium committee for apportioning quotas of the world's requirements of such drugs among the producing countries was adopted by the conference?

Mr. STANLEY

Yes. Sir, the British delegate has informed His Majesty's Government of the proceedings at the conference. The scheme of limitation which was prepared by the Advisory Committee and which he was authorised by His Majesty's Government to support was not adopted by the conference.
