HC Deb 01 May 1987 vol 115 c260W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will set out in the Official Report details of the research known to his Department on the relationship between drug misuse and crime.

Mr. Mellor

There has been a great deal of research on this subject. Three recent major studies are referred to in "Criminal Justice: A Working Paper", a copy of which is in the Library. An account of present and proposed studies funded by the Home Office will be included in the Home Office research programme 1987–88, which is to be published shortly.
