HC Deb 19 December 1938 vol 342 c2491W
Mr. Hamilton Kerr

asked the Home Secretary whether any special steps are being taken in this country to counteract the illicit importation of drugs which factories in the Chinese territory under Japanese military control are now turning out in vast quantities for world sale and distribution?

Mr. Lloyd

The importation of all dangerous drugs into this country is prohibited except under licence and a careful watch is maintained at all ports to prevent illicit importation. There is no reason to suspect that drugs manufactured in the Far East are entering this country.
