HC Deb 08 August 1972 vol 842 c323W
Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will refer the opiates which can be used to replace opium, morphine and codeine to the Committee on Safety of Drugs to ascertain their relative efficacy.

Mr. Alison

No. Although knowledge of the relative efficacy of some of the opiates is incomplete those which are commonly used are well documented.
