    The drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940.

    In 1937 a Bill was introduced in the Central Legislative


    Assembly to give effect to the recommendations of the
    Drugs Enquiry Committee to regulate the import of drugs
    into British India. The Central Government suggested to the
    Provincial Governments to ask the Provincial Legislatures to
    pass resolutions empowering the Central Legislature to pass
    on Act for regulating such matters relating to control of
    drugs as fall within the Provincial sphere. Provincial
    Governments got the resolution passed from the Provincial
    Legislatures and sent them to the Central Government for
    getting through the Bill to regulate the import, manufacture,
    distribution and sale of Drugs and Cosmetics. Thereupon
    the Drugs and Cosmetics Bill was introduced in the Central
    Legislative Assembly.

    Chapter I of the Act consists of short titles,


    extent, definitions and commencements.
    Chapter II of the Bill establishes a Board of
    Technical Experts to advise the Central and
    Provincial Governments on technical
    matters. Chapter III provides for the control
    of the import of drugs into British India.
    Chapter IV talks about the control of the
    manufacture, sale and distribution of drugs.
