Demand the government end the sale of hydroxic acid to under 18s.

The Home Secretary, Amber Rudd, has spoken about banning the sale of acids to the general population, including items of use to terrorists such as car batteries. However she has failed to address the common and easy availability of hydroxic acid which can be bought by anyone on any high street. We call on the home secretary to ban the sale of hydroxic acid to under 18s, with immediate effect.
