Ms Estelle Morris

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what recent representations she has received regarding amyl nitrate; and if she will now invite the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs to initiate research on the effects of amyl nitrate on children and young people.

The Department has received a number of representations regarding amyl nitrate since the beginning of this year.

We are aware of concerns about its use among children and young people and we are keeping the matter under review, including the need for any research.
