Proceeding contribution from Tom Brake (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 3 April 2008. It occurred during Topical debate on Drug Strategy.


Drug Strategy

I can confirm that that is our policy. I am sure that, if the advisory council were to come up with a recommendation that cannabis should be reclassified, we would want to look at that policy area very carefully. However, the leak suggests that that is not what it is going to recommend. As the hon. Member for Newport, West said earlier, the evidence shows that cannabis use went down as a result of the reclassification, rather than up.
