§ 110. Mr. Parkinasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether there is any variation in the measures taken by customs authorities to control scheduled poisons and dangerous drugs imported from Ireland and those applied to similar imports from other countries.
§ Mr. Maurice MacmillanDangerous drugs may not be imported without a licence. Importations of these drugs from the Republic of Ireland are controlled with the same vigilance as those from other countries. The importation of "scheduled poisons" is not so prohibited and they are not, therefore, subject to special customs control.
§ 111. Mr. Parkinasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what method is used to dispose of scheduled poisons and dangerous drugs confiscated by Customs authorities.
§ Mr. Maurice MacmillanRaw opium is sold to authorised manufacturers. Other dangerous drugs are destroyed, normally by burning.
