Proceeding contribution from Baroness Smith of Basildon (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 12 May 2014. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 (Amendment) (No. 2) Order 2014.
Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 (Amendment) (No. 2) Order 2014
That is helpful, and I look forward to receiving more information. The point is that the measures must be in place and understood prior to the implementation of any ban. My greatest disappointment is that the Minister has failed to commit to a review. For us, that is crucial. At the 12-month point, there should be a full understanding and published figures and information. Given that it is such a finely balanced decision, to say that there will be continuous review seems to be an opportunity not to have the serious review that we are seeking. I am grateful to the Minister for his response, but I am disappointed that he has not been able to address all the points that we raised. I wish to test the opinion of the House.
