Proceeding contribution from Brian Iddon (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 2 November 2009. It occurred during Urgent question on Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs.


Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs

Does this saga not indicate that what we need in this country is a straightforward and honest debate about whether the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971, now almost 40 years old, and the A, B and C classification that is wrapped up in it are fit for purpose in this century? Please can we have a debate on drugs policy? It is a long time since we did so in the House.
