HC Deb 27 February 1964 vol 690 c104W
34. Mr. Holland

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what action he now proposes to take to secure stricter control of drugs containing amphetamines and similar substances.

Mr. Brooke

I have decided to introduce legislation to deal with this increasingly serious problem. I am having consultations with the manufacturers and with certain other organisations whose advice may be valuable on the form of legislation that I have in mind. My intention is to present a Bill as early as possible.
