Poisons licences
The Poisons Act 1972 and the Poisons Rules 1982 prohibit the sale of poisons unless the seller is a retail pharmacist or is a listed seller.
A listed seller is someone whose details we have on file entitling them to sell poisons from a named premises.
Listed sellers can't sell poisons which are included in Part I of the Poisons List. These may only be sold by a pharmacist.
A listed seller or their named deputy is allowed to sell the poisons named in Part II of the Poisons List subject to certain conditions.
Each listed seller is required to keep a Poisons Book in which certain information relating to each sale of a poison must be entered before delivery to the purchaser.
You will need to pay if you want to have your name on the list.
The fees for 2011-2012 are:
initial registration - £32.67
annual re-registration - £17.22
change in details of registration - £8.80
