HC Deb 01 July 1996 vol 280 cc336-7W
Mr. Flynn

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what percentage of deaths involving ecstasy use in the last five years were attributed to(a) overheating, (b) excess water intake and (c) other causes. [34892]

Mr. Bowis

It is not possible to provide percentages in the way requested. The Office for National Statistics attributes these deaths to an underlying cause of abuse of ecstasy, or poisoning with ecstasy, not to any particular complication of the drug which may have been mentioned as having led to death.

Forward to
