HC Deb 12 February 1959 vol 599 c223W
2. Mr. C. Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is satisfied with the arrangements made for the purchase of drugs in St. Helena for the current year; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. J. Amery

Yes. The provision for drugs in the current Budget is 30 per cent. higher than in 1958, and my right hon. Friend has been assured by the local Government that satisfactory arrangements have been made for advance ordering of replacement stocks.
