HC Deb 22 March 1985 vol 75 c632W
Mr. White

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is satisfied with the working of the Solvent Abuse (Scotland) Act 1983; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. John MacKay

Considerable use is being made of the Act in areas where solvent abuse has been regarded as a particular problem. More time will be required, however, to assess the effectiveness of the Act in relation to the reported incidence of this practice.
