§ Mr. Michael Brownasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will make a statement on the effects of glue sniffing in schools.

The matter is best tackled through teachers and others in positions of responsibility warning young people about the dangers involved and through continuing programmes of health education, which include reference to the misuse of drugs generally.
