§ Dr. TongeTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many seizures of(a)cocaine and (b) heroin have been made in the UK in each of the last 10 years.[140371]
§ Mr. Charles ClarkeThe most recent figures on United Kingdom drug seizures go up to the year 1998. Seizures of cocaine and heroin from 1988 to 1998 can be found in Home Office Statistical Bulletin 3/0 entitled "Drug Seizures and Offender Statistics, United Kingdom, 1998". Copies of this publication can be found in the Library.
To assess long-term trends, figures on the number of seizures made over the last 10 years need to be viewed together with figures on the quantities of drugs seized.
