§ Captain Kerbyasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) what control he proposes to exercise over the manufacture and importation of the drug lysergic acid diethyl amide, in the light of the potent hallucinogenic actions of this drug:
(2) if he will place the drug, lysergic acid diethyl amide, and other related hallucinogenic substances on the list of substances in Part I, Schedule I, of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1964.
§ Mr. George ThomasMy right hon. and learned Friend has no evidence at present of misuse of these substances calling for the imposition of control, but a close watch is being kept on the situation. They could not, under the provisions of Section 2 of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1964, be added to the First Schedule unless the appropriate international organisation had decided to control them or such a decision appeared probable.
