HC Deb 06 December 1972 vol 847 c443W
Mr. Kilfedder

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what arrangements are made for the destruction of cannabis, morphine, heroin, cocaine and other addictive drugs seized by the police in the United Kingdom; and whether he is satisfied that none of the seized drugs find their way back to the pushers.

Mr. Carlisle

This is a matter in England and Wales for chief officers of police. Their attention has been drawn to the need for particular care, including supervision by senior officers, in arranging for the disposal of seized drugs.
