Proceeding contribution from Charles Clarke (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 19 January 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Regulation of Cannabis.
Regulation of Cannabis
There are two points to make. The first is that, as the hon. Gentleman knows, since 1 January the police have had the power to arrest for any offence, including the actions that he describes—which are offences. That is a matter for the police, irrespective of the actual offence. Secondly, the question that the hon. Gentleman asks is the precise reason why I have asked for stronger ACPO guidelines on such matters, and why ACPO has agreed to provide stronger guidelines, which will be published in due course, to address those points.
