Crimes of Violence: Corrosive Substances
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if he will undertake a review of the designation of specified chemicals under Schedule 1A of the Poisons Act 1972 in relation to the use of reportable substances in incidence of attacks containing corrosive substances.
- Answer
-
We keep Schedule 1A of the Poisons Act 1972 under continual review. We have moved sulphuric acid above a concentration of 15% from being a reportable to a regulated substance. We have no current plans to regulate any of the other corrosive substances which are reportable substances within Schedule 1A of the Poisons Act 1972.
