Proceeding contribution from Keith Vaz (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 7 April 2010. It occurred during Legislative debate on Dangerous Drugs.
Dangerous Drugs
I welcome what the Minister has said so far, and I hope to catch Mr. Deputy Speaker's eye and contribute to the debate. With the resignation last week of another member of the advisory council, it is right that we re-assert the position that although the council is there to advise, at the end of the day it should be Ministers who make the decision and are prepared to come to the House to defend their decision.
