§ Mr. Murphyasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what information he has about the national crusade against drug abuse launched by President and Mrs. Reagan in the United States of America; and what lessons he has drawn for the United Kingdom in terms of providing additional ideas to assist Her Majesty's Government's drug misuse strategy.
§ Mr. MellorThe United States authorities keep us informed about all aspects of their strategy to combat drug misuse. Several components in our drugs policy have reflected lessons drawn from their experience. In particular, we constantly stress that Government action alone is not enough to tackle drug misuse; we need the support and commitment of the entire community.
