HC Deb 13 February 1992 vol 203 cc584-5W
Mr. Sheerman

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps he is taking to ensure that prospective importers of heroin—diamorphine—keep standards of transport security and site security equal to those maintained by the current United Kingdom supplier.

Mr. John Patten

No decision has yet been taken to license the commercial importation of diamorphine. A precondition for the grant of any licence to deal in diamorphine is that the drugs inspectorate is satisfied on the arrangements proposed by the prospective licensee for transport and site security.
