Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Julian Brazier (Conservative). It was answered on Tuesday, 25 April 2017 on behalf of the Ministry of Justice.


Novel Psychoactive Substances

Question

May I say how much I welcome the 2016 Act, having lost two young men to what used to be called legal highs? The extra powers that it provides and the rigorous application of the law to rapidly changing chemicals are extremely welcome.

Answer

I thank my hon. Friend for his question. I should also like to emphasise that the possession of Spice has been subject to further controls, and that that includes making it illegal.
