PHARMACY AND POISONS ACT, 1933
This Act provides that every local authority shall keep a list of persons who, not being
entitled to sell poisons included in Part I of the Poisons List, are, subject to the provisions of
this Act, to be entitled to sell poisons included in Part II of the Poisons List (Part I of the
Poisons List includes the more dangerous poisons such as strychnine — which may be sold only
by Pharmacists registered by the Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain, whereas Part II
includes less dangerous poisons such as Phenols, hair dyes, etc.)
A local authority may refuse to enter in, or may remove from, the list the name of any person
who fails to pay the fees prescribed by rules or who in the opinion of the authority is, for any
sufficient reason, relating either to him personally or to his premises, not fit to be on the list.
Fifty firms are registered under this Act. During the year 43 inspections were made in
connection with the administration of the Act, in consequence of which five contraventions of a
minor nature were noted and effectively dealt with.
