HC Deb 19 January 1971 vol 809 c242W
35. Mr. Dalyell

asked the Attorney-General (1) if he will prosecute the persons concerned with the bartering of cannabis resin from the United Kingdom for L.S.D. imported into the United Kingdom from the United States of America, details of which have been sent to him by the hon. Member for West Lothian;

(2) if he will prosecute the persons concerned in importing cannabis into the United Kingdom for the purpose of its re-export, details of which have been sent to him by the hon. Member for West Lothian.

The Attorney-General

I have received from the hon. Member a copy of an article in a Sunday newspaper concerning the importing and bartering to which he refers. Prosecutions can be instituted only where there is sufficient evidence. There will be a prosecution of any person against whom there is such evidence. Inquiries are proceeding.
