HC Deb 15 June 1939 vol 348 c1530W
Mr. Garro Jones

asked the Minister of Health whether his attention has been drawn to complaints in various Dominion Government publications to the effect that their control over the sale of harmful or worthless drugs is hampered by the ineffective state of the law on this subject in Britain; and whether in his consideration of measures to deal with this evil he will undertake to include consideration of the more effective measures now in force in Canada, Australia, South Africa, and the United States of America?

Mr. Elliot

The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative and to the second part is in the affirmative.
