§ Mrs. EwingTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what was the expenditure on education on drug abuse per regional council in Scotland in each of the past five years.
§ Lord James Douglas-HamiltonThe information sought is not held centrally by the Scottish Office. In Scottish schools, the life skills approach to drugs, alcohol and smoking will continue to be the core of education programmes rather than the focus on individual substances. It is, therefore, not possible to identify the money that has been spent on education on drug misuse.
