is nothing, except a fine of £5 or £10, to prevent a broker selling considerable amounts of opium by retail
to any person who offers to buy. There is no provision against the preparation of chandu in the United Kingdom and consequently opium can be obtained and made into chandu with considerable ease.
Under present conditions the export of the drug is forbidden but there is no doubt that the ingenuity of the Chinese, who are the chief agents in the trade, enables them to smuggle large quantities out of the country.
The Conference consider that the following procedure, which is largely based on the recommendations of a Committee appointed to consider what legislation would be required to enforce in the United Kingdom the provisions of the Hague Opium Convention, would be effective. All importers of opium should be required to be licensed in the same way as diamond importers must be licensed at the present time. All wholesale dealers, opium Heaters, and manufacturers should also be required to take out a licence. No person other than a licensed importer, dealer, broker, or manu- facturer would be permitted to import or deal whole- sale with opium.
The only classes of persons to whom such sale should be permitted should beregistered medical practitioners, dentists, pharmacists, persons licensed under the Cruelty to animals Acts and such persons as mey be granted by the proper authority a licence to
purchase
