received from the Chairman of the Medical Panel of the Advertising Inquiry Committee regarding habit-forming drugs on sale to the general public; and what action he proposes to take.

Mr. Walker-Smith

The questions it raises about habit-forming drugs are questions which are being considered by the Interdepartmental Committee on Drug Addiction, and I will see that the report is brought to their notice.
