HC Deb 11 April 1983 vol 40 c353W
Mr. Nicholas Winterton

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether Her Majesty's Government have undertaken any research into producing an additive for solvent-based glues that would be a deterrent to glue sniffers.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

No. Our inquiries so far suggest that detailed research would be unlikely to succeed in identifying an additive that would provide an effective deterrent against solvent sniffing.
