§ On the Order for the Third Reading of the Poisons Bill,
§ THE DUKE OF DEVONSHIREI have an Amendment to move on the Schedule of the Bill.
§ LORD HERSCHELLI do not know whether the noble Duke's attention has been directed to a complaint which appears to arise, that this Bill will be so stringent as to interfere with the sale of disinfectants and articles of that kind, which are very much used, the use of which is said to be obstructed. I have seen complaints of that sort.
§ THE DUKE OF DEVONSHIREThe Amendment I have to move is to insert in the Schedule the word "liquid" before "preparation." That is intended to meet that point. It has been represented to the Privy Council that as the Bill stands it might interfere with the sale of certain disinfecting powders which are very extensively used, and it is necessary to prevent any doubt on the point.
§ Amendment agreed to, and Bill read a third time and passed.
