HC Deb 20 June 1990 vol 174 cc594-5W
103. Mr. Sumberg

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what steps his Department is taking to regulate the sale to minors of certain forms of toxic correcting fluid and general solvents.

Mr. Forth

The Intoxicating Substances (Supply) Act prohibits the sale of solvent-based products to youngsters who appear to want to sniff them. I am not prepared to go further than this to restrict the sale of these useful products to legitimate users.
