Business question from Paul Flynn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 February 2006. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
When may we have a debate on the world shortage of diamorphine, which means that anyone dying in a third-world country has only a one in 20 chance of gaining access to that vital pain reliever? Would it not be more sensible to employ our troops in ensuring that the Afghan farmers can be licensed to use their poppy crops to supply the world with diamorphine, rather than using them to destroy the only means of livelihood for farmers in Helmand province, which will lead to great danger for our troops and will not add to the world production of diamorphine?
