HC Deb 25 March 1963 vol 674 cc935-6
18. Mr. K. Robinson

asked the Minister of Health what further advice he has received from the sub-committee of the Standing Medical Advisory Committee that is considering the problems of drug control; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Powell

None as yet.

Mr. Robinson

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that we have all been extremely patient in waiting for this report? Can he now give some indication when he is likely to be able to give a statement to the House?

Mr. Powell

Not a precise indication, but I understand the sub-committee is making good progress.
