AdminHistoryIn an adjournment debate in the House of Commons on 26 October 1982 on solvent misuse Mr Geoffrey Finsberg, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Health and Social Security, re-affirmed the Government's confidence in the work of local statutory and voluntary services in prevention campaigns and in helping young glue sniffers and their parents. Mr Finsberg reported progress on a range of initiatives he had launched in April 1982 and indicated that representatives of statutory and voluntary services would be consulted on what further steps the Government might take to support their work. After the consultation measures to curb the sale of solvent were announced by the government in December 1983.
