Steve Reed MP, Croydon North voted not to ban the production and supply of alkyl nitrites (poppers) when not used as a medicinal product.
The majority of MPs voted to ban the production and supply of alkyl nitrites (poppers) when not used as a medicinal product.
MPs were considering the Psychoactive Substances Bill[1].
The amendment rejected in this vote was:
- Amendment 5, page 41, line 12, at end insert—
- “Miscellaneous
- 8 Alkyl nitrites”
This would have added Alkyl nitrites to the list of exempted substances in Schedule 1[2] of the Bill.
An explanatory note[3] accompanying the rejected amendment explained its intent:
- This would exempt “poppers” from the Bill, as recommended by the Home Affairs Select Committee.
