§ 22. Mr. Rankinasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if the Poisons Board has yet submitted its report to him in regard to persomnia; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. RentonI would refer the hon. Member to the reply which my right hon. Friend gave on 9th July to my hon. Friend the Member for Gosport and Fareham (Dr. Bennett).
§ Mr. RankinWill the hon. and learned Gentleman thank his right hon. Friend for being so courteous as to send me a copy of that reply, which is an admirable practice which, I hope, will be continued as necessary? May I take it that his reference to the Committee on drug addiction and the further action concerning 1423 this drug means that all the other drugs in the same category will now be investigated as to their qualities?
§ Mr. RentonI cannot say without notice.
