Local Authorities are responsible for maintaining a list of persons allowed to sell a range of substances which are listed in the various schedules of the Poisons Act 1972. Inclusion on the list permits the retail sale of substances on the list.
The person who will carry out the sale should be entered on the list, a deputy or deputies may also be nominated.
If the sale is on a wholesale basis, there is no need to be entered on the list. The details of substances, which form the list, are very complex and there are variations between parts of the list as to whom some substances may be sold. All sales must be in a closed container, which has been closed by the manufacturer.
Application must be made on the form provided. Enclosed with this information sheet is a full list of substances to which Part II of the Poisons Act refers and the differences in the sale of them. A fee must accompany the application.
This information is only a brief guide, for further information and an application form (if applicable) please contact the address below:
