§ Mr. Ben ChapmanTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what plans he has to reclassify gamma hydroxy butyrate as a drug; and what recent representations he has received on this issue. [14289]
§ Mr. Bob AinsworthFollowing the decision of the United Nations to control gamma hydroxy butyrate (GHB) under Schedule IV of the 1971 UN Convention on Psychotropic Substances, the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD) met on 8 November to consider the drug's classification under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. I await their advice.
I have received a number of letters from members of the public, and some from hon. Members, expressing concern about the misuse of GHB.
