Mr. Hancock: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what assessment he has made of the effectiveness of the
legislation relating to substance abuse; and what plans he has to amend the legislation. [165761]
Caroline Flint: Volatile Substance Abuse is controlled by the Intoxicating Substances (Supply) Act 1985, which regulates the general
sale of abusable products by making it an offence for any such substance to be knowingly supplied for the purpose of intoxication to
someone under 18. The Cigarette Lighter Refill (Safety) Regulations 1999, banned the sale of butane gas lighter refills to under
18s.
The Government continues to be concerned about the level of misuse of volatile substances by young people. However, it thinks that
at present enforcement of current provisions is sufficient and has no plans to amend the legislation.
