Dr. Murrison: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what action he has taken on trends in the percentage of service personnel
testing positive for controlled substances. [23693]
Mr. Ingram: Since routine, random compulsory drug testing became regular practice across the three services in 1998, the percentage
of armed forces personnel proving positive has only risen from 0.45 per cent. to 0.54 per cent. (in 2000) of the total number
tested. The services reflect the society from which they are recruited and employ mainly young people who are at an age when they
are most vulnerable to drug misuse. In addition to rigorous single service drug education programmes, the compulsory drug testing
programme is a specific deterrent against the misuse of drugs by service personnel. Despite the comparatively low number of
personnel who return positive results, the services continue to examine their drugs policies to remain vigilant against the problem.
Recent improvements in drug testing methods have given the Ministry of Defence a more reliable detection capability for the Class A
drug, Ecstasy. While this and an increase in the number of service personnel being tested generally, year on year, is reflected in
the overall number of positive findings, our enhanced drug testing capability is viewed as a positive measure against members of the
armed forces misusing drugs.

Mr. Ben Chapman: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement on the trend in the incidence of
youth disturbance involving the intake of alcohol in the last three years. [20984]
Mr. Denham: The information requested is not routinely collected by police forces or held centrally. Youth disturbance may vary from
nuisance behaviour through to more serious disorder and criminal activity.
Tackling the problems associated with underage drinking is a key objective of the Home Office action plan on alcohol-related crime,
disorder and nuisance. The most recent Youth Lifestyles Survey, published in October 2000, showed that 15 per cent. of young people
aged 12 to 17 admitted to committing some form of antisocial behaviour during or after drinking--most often getting into a heated
argument. Frequent drinkers were also more likely to have behaved antisocially.
We have strengthened the law, from 1 December, to go further in tackling the sale of alcohol to underage drinkers. Section 30 of the
Criminal Justice and Police Act 2001 now places a positive duty on staff in licensed premises to check the age of young customers
before selling alcohol, and section 31 provides a power for the police and local authorities to enforce the law by using under-18s
to make test purchases. We expect these important new measures to assist in our determination to tackle under-age drinking as part
of our wider programme to reduce youth crime and antisocial behaviour.
