§ 54. Mrs. Mannasked the Minister of Health if he will take steps to withdraw the recommendation given to the public to burn tablets and pills when the need for taking them is over, as the adoption of this advice has led to an explosion, details of which have been sent to him.
§ Mr. TurtonNo general recommendation has been made to the public, but advice about the disposal of surplus drugs has been given to professional and other organisations on request. In view of the information given by the hon. Lady I am arranging for this advice to be reviewed, and I am grateful to her for raising the matter.
