Proceeding contribution from Lord Bassam of Brighton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 2 March 2006. It occurred during Parliamentary proceeding on Drug Classification System.


Drug Classification System

My Lords, that is helpful, further elucidation. Those contributions were telling, welcome and entertaining in their own way. I was also very impressed by the noble Baroness, Lady Walmsley, as I always am, for her invocation to the Government to become more scary in their campaign to frighten our younger generation about the dangers of drugs. We are certainly right to focus on that issue. It was also interesting to note that, in advancing her case, she quoted so favourably the noble Lord, Lord Birt. That is probably a first for the Liberal Democrat Benches.
