Proceeding contribution from Paul Flynn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 3 April 2008. It occurred during Topical debate on Drug Strategy.
Drug Strategy
A good place to start would be to look at the outcome of the billions of pounds that have been spent and the results of the policies adopted 10 years ago, which, I am sorry to say, have failed abjectly. One of those policies was to reduce drug taking among young people by 50 per cent. Virtually nothing has worked in 10 years of effort by this Government. Can we not at least say, ““Let's look at what happened—it went wrong””, and examine why it went wrong?
