Pharmacy and Poisons Act, 1933.—This Act places upon Metropolitan Borough
Councils the duties of enforcing the provisions of that part of the Act which relates
to poisons in Part 2 of the Poisons List. Poisons in Part 1 of the Poisons List may
only be sold by "authorised sellers" and those in Part 2 by authorised sellers and
by persons whose names appear in a register to be kept by the local authority.
"Authorised sellers," i.e., pharmacists, will be inspected by Inspectors appointed
by the Pharmaceutical Society, but the Borough Council are required to arrange
for the necessary inspection of all other persons. It will be necessary to appoint
an inspector for this purpose and also to see that the requirements of the law relating'
to the marking and storage of poisons are enforced.
The Act will come into force on an appointed day.
