Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Bob Spink (Independent (affiliation)). It was answered on Monday, 23 March 2009 on behalf of the Home Office.
Drugs Strategy
- Question
- This set of Ministers has done more than any other I can recall to fight the problem of drug abuse in this country. Will the Minister tell the House what action he can take to implement as soon as possible the control of gamma butyrolactone, the date rape drug that is becoming a real problem?
- Answer
-
I am grateful for the hon. Gentleman's support, and I should like to pay tribute to the work that he has been doing on this issue. He will be aware that the chemical to which he refers is widely used in industry, and we are looking at how alternatives can be provided to allow legitimate practices in industry to continue. He should be under no illusion, however; we do intend to take the action that he is calling for.
