§ Colonel DAYasked the Home Secretary if his attention has been drawn to the statement made by the coroner, at an inquest held at Hammersmith, to the effect that the time had come when legislation should be introduced to prohibit the purchase of large quantities of deadly poison, such as crude carbolic acid, from hawkers in the streets; and, in view of these remarks, will he consider the bringing of this and other poisonous disinfectants under the Poisons and Drugs Act?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSIf the hon. Member will refer to Schedule A of the Poisons and Pharmacy Act, 1908, he will see that the retail sale of crude carbolic acid is already restricted.
