21. Captain CUNNINGHAM - REID

asked the Home Secretary whether, in view of the evidence of the professor of pharmacology at Birmingham University and the remarks of the Birmingham coroner at a recent inquest as to the effects of the drug atophan, he will consider the scheduling of this drug as a poison?

I am bringing the case to which my hon. and gallant Friend refers to the notice of the Lord President of the Council and the Council of the Pharmaceutical Society, who are the authorities at present responsible for additions to the Schedule of Poisons.
