§ Mr. PikeTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what discussions his Department regularly holds with organisations dealing with solvent abuse; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Michael ForsythThere are a number of Government Departments which have responsibilities covering volatile substance abuse. They have periodic contacts with interested organisations rather than regular discussions. I understand that Department of Health officials last met representatives Re-Solv, the Society for the Prevention of Solvent and Volatile Substance Abuse, on 24 October.
