Answer: Mr. Flynn: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if his planned roadside drug driving tests detect the presence of (a) Prozac and (b) Benyllin. [30957] Ms Glenda Jackson: Neither of the devices which are being trialled will detect the presence of Prozac or Benyllin.
