HC Deb 10 December 1990 vol 182 c303W
Mr. Ron Davies

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment whether the Health and Safety Executive has examined working practices involving the use of pentobarbitone; and if he will issue guidelines concerning its safe use.

Mr. Forth

No studies of working practices specifically involving the use of pentobarbitone have been undertaken by the Health and Safety Executive. Existing statutory provisions, and guidance under those provisions, are comprehensive and there are no plans to issue specific guidelines for this substance.
