§ Mr. Parkinasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will set up a committee to inquire into all aspects of the illicit manufacture and distribution of amphetamine derivatives and compounds, to consider together with the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry the desirability of the manufacturers of drinamyl marketing the product as a less recognisable tablet, so as to make it less easily saleable when supplies obtained illicitly are repacked in small envelopes, and to make recommendations.
§ Mr. WoodhouseThe question of changing the distinctive shape and colour of drinamyl tablets has been discussed with the manufacturers both by the Home Office and by the Pharmaceutical Society, but no conclusion has yet been reached.
