§ Mr. Whitakerasked the Minister of Health whether he is satisfied as to the safety of aerosol asthma sprays, in the 181W light of the evidence given by a Home Office pathologist in a recent case; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. K. RobinsonAs I indicated in my reply to a Question by the hon. Member for Sutton Coldfield on 21st February the Committee on Safety of Drugs have already taken steps to ensure that doctors are aware of the risk of overdosage when such sprays are being used. My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Home Department intends to amend the Poisons Rules so as to restrict their sale to medical prescription.—[Vol. 759, c.144.]
