To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the (a) effectiveness and (b) speed of lab testing oral fluid rather than blood samples as evidential confirmation of drug driving offences.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the (a) effectiveness and (b) speed of lab testing oral fluid rather than blood samples as evidential confirmation of drug driving offences.
No such assessment has been made. We have been advised by the National Police Chief’s Council that, despite some backlogs with blood samples last year, toxicology supply has now significantly increased, and all backlogs have been cleared.
We will continue to monitor the situation as appropriate.

We have given consideration to this approach but have no plans to make such a change, especially given that we have been advised by the National Police Chief’s Council that toxicology supply has now significantly increased, and all backlogs have been cleared.

We are obviously all distressed to hear the news from Bristol. Any life lost to drugs is obviously to be mourned. Anyone interested in lawfully undertaking activities that include the possession, supply or production of controlled drugs, including through the course of drug testing services, can already apply to the Home Office for a domestic licence, and they will be subject to the usual visits and considerations about the activities that they undertake. I understand the hon. Lady’s implication that we should look at this subject in the round. It is our hope that we will publish later this year
a comprehensive, cross-Government strategy on drugs in the round, including on their impact and what we can do about them.

I echo the tributes to Sir Davis Amess and James Brokenshire, and send my commiserations to their friends and families.
Over a single weekend in Bristol this summer, one young person died and 20 others were hospitalised, leading to police warnings about a lethal batch of pills circulating in the city. It just is not enough for the Government to say, “Don’t do drugs”; that clearly does not work. Will the Government work with organisations such as The Loop, which provides testing, or provide their own drugs testing service as the Welsh Government have been doing since 2014? That is the only way that they are going to save lives.

I refer the Hon Member to the written ministerial statement (HCWS1533) made on 1 May 2019.
As set out in the statement the testing begun in April. The methodology has been laid in the House Library.
The materials tested include copper and zinc composite materials; aluminium honeycomb panels; high-pressure laminate panels; brick slips; and reconstituted stone. The total number of tests will be greater than the number of materials as a number of variants of each material is being tested.
A full picture of the outcomes of the tests can only be provided following a detailed analysis of all the test data. We expect this analysis to be completed in the summer and we will publish the conclusions of the programme thereafter.
