HC Deb 14 January 1971 vol 809 cc93-4W
32. Mr. Kilfedder

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he is satisfied with the existing arrangements for co-operation between the police drug squads and chemists to prevent dangerous drugs getting into the wrong hands; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Sharples

Yes. For many years regular contact has been maintained between retail pharmacists and the police, who have responsibility for inspecting the dangerous drugs registers maintained by the pharmacists and for giving advice on sercurity arrangements.
