HC Deb 19 April 1988 vol 131 c388W
17. Mr. Janner

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will issue a circular to local authorities about the control of solvent abuse by pupils in secondary schools; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Bob Dunn

The Department issued a safety bulletin to all local education authorities in 1984, providing advice about solvent misuse. Guidance specifically on health education concerning solvent misuse was also provided in Her Majesty's inspectorate document "Health Education from 5 to 16", issued to all schools in 1986. My right hon. Friend has no plans to issue further advice.
