• The Home Secretary's Standing Advisory Committee on Dangerous Substances will be considering the exercise of controls over the conveyance by road of poisonous substances when it has completed its current work on compressed, liquefied and dissolved gases.
This was stated in the Commons last week by Mr David Lane, Under Secretary of State at the Home Office.
He was asked by Mr Airey Neave (Con. Abingdon) if the poisons review would include formaldehyde, and replied that this substance was not poisonous and the Home Secretary had no plans at present to control its conveyance by road.
