Proceeding contribution from Alan Johnson (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

I disagree with my hon. Friend in that I do not believe this episode suggests that there should be a review of the 1971 Act. There may or may not be other reasons why an Act that is almost 40 years old needs review, but this episode should be seen in its context of one individual Government adviser acting in a way that I believe undermined the Government rather than supported them in their work.
