§ Mr. WigginTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make it his policy to ensure that recreational drugs remain illegal; and if he will encourage police to prosecute criminals who supply such drugs. [184021]
§ Caroline FlintThe Government have no intention of legalising any currently controlled drug. The Government takes the supply and possession of illegal drugs very seriously. We work closely with the police to focus more effectively to disrupt the drug supply chain at all levels and prosecute offenders. The Drugs Strategy makes clear our priority is to tackle Class A drug supply offences. The Strategy is supported by the police as we all recognise that Class A drugs do most harm to individuals and to communities.
