§ 39. Mr. Clinton Davisasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why the Government have refused to publish the report into the use of drugs of Market Advertising and Products Study Limited which was commissioned by his Department and presented in June, 1971.
§ Mr. SharplesThe document submitted in June, 1971, was a draft, not a report. The question of publication will be considered when the associated data have been fully evaluated.
§ 45. Mr. Pavittasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many requests for information on the 215W supply of drugs controlled under the Misuse of Drugs Acts he has made to pharmacists or practitioners in areas where there are special problems; how many areas he has designated for these purposes; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. SharplesNone.
Section 17 of the Misuse of Drugs Act, 1971, to which the Question refers, is not yet operative.
§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why information was not readily available to give details of the number of drug raids that took place on Tuesday, 2nd December, where these took place and what were the names of those questioned, and what action was taken or intended in each case; and whether he will make the necessary arrangements to have such information readily available in the future.
§ Mr. SharplesThe work involved in keeping such information readily available would not be justified.
