HC Deb 20 November 1997 vol 301 c248W
Mr. Borrow

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he will publish a report on the progress of his Department's Drugs Prevention Initiative.[17438]

Mr. George Howarth

I am publishing tomorrow the Drugs Prevention Initiative's seventh annual progress report. The report summarises encouraging progress. An extensive and innovative programme is now providing some useful findings about effective community-based drugs prevention work. The programme aims to show more fully by March 1999 what action communities themselves can take to tackle local drugs problems. I am placing a copy of the report in the Library tomorrow at 10.30 am.
