Oral answer to question provided on Monday, 6 July 2009 in the House of Commons, by Alan Campbell (Labour), Home Office.
Illegal Drugs
- Answer
-
I saw the report from Portugal and I was left with the impression that it is too early to say what the effect of its change in policy has been, and we have to be careful in the message we send out about the harm that drugs do. We look at what happens in a number of countries around the world to make sure that we can learn lessons.
- Question
- Has my hon. Friend had an opportunity to assess Portugal's great success over the past eight years in reducing drug misuse? Will he transfer some of that best practice to the UK?
