That this House is alarmed that two million American children use the drug Ritalin which has been prescribed for the so-called disorder of 'Attention Deficit Syndrome'; notes that attention deficit is a universal characteristic found in the young of all species; notes that Ritalin has been identified as addictive and a cause of robotic behaviour, exhaustion and depression; and calls on the Government to resist the propaganda by the drug maker Novartis to increase the use of Ritalin in the UK.
