HC Deb 24 March 1932 vol 263 c1180
10. Captain ELLISTON

asked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that as a result of the provisions of the poisons schedule, which restricts the sale of full-strength disinfectants to registered chemists, the public are being put off with low-grade disinfectants bought at small stores and shops; and whether he will take steps to allow such establishments to sell efficient disinfectants?

Sir H. SAMUEL

This matter was dealt with in the report of the Departmental Committee on the Poisons and Pharmacy Acts, which reported two years ago, and in the Bill, based upon the recommendations in that report, which was introduced last year. The question of introducing the Bill again next Session will be considered in due course.
