§ Mr. McMasterTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will arrange for the Minister of State, Scottish Office, to visit Paisley to meet the police and others involved in combating the drugs-related problems there; and if he will make a statement. [18994]
§ Lord James Douglas-HamiltonMy noble and learned Friend has no such immediate plans. He has recently held constructive meetings with the hon. Member and with two other hon. Members who represent constituencies in Renfrewshire to discuss drug-related crime. Furthermore, he has been kept fully briefed on relevant developments by the chief constable of Strathclyde police.
