HC Deb 30 July 1919 vol 118 c2134W
Sir JAMES AGG-GARDNER

asked the Home Secretary whether Regulations 40 and 40 b under the Defence of the Realm Act, restricting the use of opium, morphine, and cocaine, will cease to be operative before the projected pharmacy legislation to give effect to the provisions of the International Opium Convention, 1912, has been enacted?

Mr. SHORTT

I hope Parliament will agree to keeping Regulation 40 B in force long enough to allow legislation to be passed to give effect to the International Convention.
