Ketamine

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when she expects the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs to complete its review into ketamine.

Answer: I expect the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD) to complete its review by the end of March 2013, if not sooner, as indicated in the Secretary of State for the Home Department's commissioning letter to the ACMD which sets out the Government's priorities for inclusion in their 2012-13 work programme. I anticipate that the ACMD will respond to the commissioning letter shortly. The commissioning letter is available at:"http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/publications/alcohol-drugs/drugs/hs-acmd-priorities-2012-2013?view=Html"
