HC Deb 13 December 1983 vol 50 c426W
34. Mr. Michael McNair-Wilson

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will publish details of the code of practice agreed between his Department and retailers' representatives about glue sniffing.

Mr. John Patten

I hope shortly to be in a position to outline the outcome of the current consultation with the representatives of retailers on draft guidelines on voluntary restraint on sales of products containing volatile substances liable to be misused. However, I share their concern that the open publication of full details could encourage and assist experimentation.
