HC Deb 09 May 1972 vol 836 c304W
42. Mr. Fowler

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will make a statement on his study of the dangers of amphetamines for slimming purposes.

Mr. Alison

Authoritative medical opinion holds that these drugs should be avoided as far as possible in the treatment of obesity, and an increasing number of doctors are restricting the use they make of them.
