Proceeding contribution from Lord Drayson (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 26 February 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Afghanistan: UK Forces.
Afghanistan: UK Forces
My Lords, on the face of it, it seems ridiculous that that should not happen when there is a shortage of pharmaceutical grade narcotics. However, the matter has been looked into very carefully indeed. It is the policy of the Afghanistan Government not to support such an initiative because of the practical challenges that it would present. I sympathise with the noble Lord’s suggestion. It should be possible to do what he suggests.
