PHARMACY AND POISONS ACT, 1933
The law relating to the retail sale of Poisonous Substances by
Traders who are not registered pharmacists has been altered by
the Pharmacy and Poisons Act, 1933, and the Poisons Rules, 1935.
The Poisons List has been prepared by the Poisons Board and
confirmed by the Home Secretary. It prescribes two Lists of
Poisons, called respectively Part I of the Poisons List, and Part II
of the Poisons List. The Part I list is a list of poisons which can
only be sold by retail to the general public by registered pharmacists.
The Part II list is a list of poisons which may be sold retail to the
general public, not only by registered pharmacists, but also (subject
to certain conditions) by ordinary traders whose names are entered on
a list of persons entitled to sell such poisons, kept by the Local
Authority.
The following is an abbreviated list of Poisons and Poisonous
Substances which may be sold by retail to the general public, or
persons in certain occupations, by Traders whose names are entered
in the Local Authority's list:—
