Proceeding contribution from James Brokenshire (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 7 April 2010. It occurred during Legislative debate on Dangerous Drugs.


Dangerous Drugs

The right hon. Gentleman made an important point in an earlier intervention about the relative role of advisers and Ministers, and he made it well. Even if we pass the order this afternoon, there needs to be an assessment of the relationship between the Government and their scientific advisers. We look forward to the publication of the Ormond review, which cannot come a moment too soon. This has been a sorry episode for this increasingly sorry Government.
