HC Deb 26 October 1971 vol 823 c316W
Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will now take further steps to restrict the manufacture and distribution of amphetamines in accordance with the recommendation of the World Medical Assembly, passed at its meeting in Ottawa in September.

Mr. Sharples

As I understand it, the resolution passed by the World Medical Association was concerned more with the action which doctors themselves could take rather than with the regulatory powers of Government.
