HC Deb 05 February 1976 vol 904 c691W
Mr. Stonehouse

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will publish the report of his Department's researches into magistrates' attitudes to the legal penalties for smoking soft drugs.

Dr. Summerskill

The research was not concerned with magistrates' attitudes to the legal penalties for smoking soft drugs but was an inquiry into the practicability of establishing a scale of gravity for offences of all kinds. A report is being prepared for publication.
