HC Deb 29 November 1965 vol 721 cc146-7W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps he will take to control the sale of Schedule 4 poisons, in view of the increase in drug addiction among young people in the Midlands area.

Mr. George Thomas

The sale of substances listed in the Fourth Schedule to the Poisons Rules is already closely controlled. They may be sold lawfully at retail only by a registered pharmacist on production of a prescription.
