HC Deb 14 July 1969 vol 787 cc21-2W
76. Dr. John Dunwoody

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will set up an inquiry into addiction to Chinese heroin.

Mr. Crossman

Chinese heroin and heroin from other sources do not present different treatment problems. My right hon Friend the Home Secretary is actively investigating the illegal importation and distribution of this drug and my Department is in close touch with treatment centres concerning reports of its use.
