§ 9. Dr. David Kerrasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what action he proposes to take to control more effectively the distribution and consumption of addictive drugs.
§ Mr. Roy JenkinsNarcotic drugs are closely controlled under the Dangerous Drugs Act 1965 and the Dangerous Drugs Regulations, which reflect the requirements of the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs 1961, to which the United Kingdom is a party.
