Proceeding contribution from Jim Dobbin (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

It seems to me that Professor Nutt has been campaigning for the normalisation or deregulation of recreational drugs. Does the Home Secretary agree that membership of the advisory council should be subject to a strict register of members' interests and a strict ethical code on conflicts of interest, particularly financial links to the pharmaceutical industry, so that scientific independence is demonstrated?
