HC Deb 13 December 1990 vol 182 cc491-2W
Sir Michael McNair-Wilson

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what action his Department and the police are taking to discover the source of self-adhesive stickers laced with LSD and strychnine which are being offered to children; and whether anybody has yet been apprehended for offering these substances.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

I understand from the national drugs intelligence unit and the police that they have not been able to find any evidence whatsoever to support claims that such stickers exist. In the absence of such evidence, the police here and in other countries believe that circular letters claiming that such stickers are being offered to children are a hoax, although they remain ready to examine any evidence which is put to them.
