§ 15. Mr. Llewellynasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware that a drug, of which he has been informed, is being supplied by some Cardiff chemists without the signature of a dental surgeon ; that a card of a quasi-prescriptive character has been printed by manufacturers of the drug, and that they are being sold as confidence pills without purchasers signing the poisons book or producing a doctor's or dentist's prescription ; and what action he proposes to take in relation to his responsibilities in regard to drugs.
§ Major Lloyd-GeorgeMy attention has been drawn to recent allegations about the indiscriminate sale of a drug which was added to the Poisons List as from 15th August, 1955. I understand that the matter is being investigated by the Pharmaceutical Society, which is responsible for the enforcement of the Pharmacy and Poisons Act.
