HC Deb 08 February 1977 vol 925 c604W
Mr. Hooley

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what evidence he has suggesting that Hong Kong is a significant source of supply of heroin or other drugs illicitly traded in the United Kingdom.

Dr. Summerskill

The bulk of the heroin circulating illicitly in the United Kingdom is believed to originate from South-East Asia. There is no evidence, however, to suggest that any significant amount of heroin or other drugs specifically now comes from Hong Kong.
