I used to be able to get it at my local chemist (a small independent) but
he stopped keeping it because of some change in the rules.

You could try

http://www.raycochemicals.f9.co.uk

who specialise is selling photographic chemicals to the amateur. They
certainly list 10% HCl. I don't know how strong you need. I would be
interested to know how you get on as I used to add a little to my Ferric
Chloride when it was getting a bit "tired"
