HC Deb 14 March 1969 vol 779 cc379-80W
Mr. Roebuck

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will make inquiries through the World Health Organisation about the practice in other countries of packing medicines in containers difficult for young children to

with medical bodies so far this year into the desirability of printing on the containers of certain medical remedies the antidote for poisoning, as a means of safeguarding children;

(2) whether he will cause inquiries to be made through the World Health Organisation into the usefulness of the United States practice of printing the antidote for poisoning on the containers of certain medical remedies, with a view to its general adoption.

Mr. Crossman

There have been no such consultations this year. I will make inquiries about practice in the United States.
