HC Deb 01 February 1968 vol 757 cc373-4W
41. Mr. Luard

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he has yet made a decision on the recommendation of the Poisons Board concerning the sale of quinine.

Mr. Taverne

The Poisons Board has confirmed its previous recommendation concerning quinine, but recommends that mineral water and tonic wine should be exempted. My right hon. Friend is disposed to accept the recommendation in principle, but he is giving further consideration to the scope of exemptions.
