HC Deb 04 April 1963 vol 675 c54W
29. Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make the amphetamines and phenmetrazine and related compounds dangerous drugs instead of Schedule IV poisons.

Mr. Woodhouse

It would not be appropriate to control these substances, which are stimulants, under the Dangerous Drugs Act, 1951, which is concerned with narcotic drugs controlled by international agreement. My right hon. Friend is, however, considering the possible need for stricter control of substances of this kind.
