17. Mr. McLoughlin

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement on the work of the ministerial group on the misuse of drugs.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

The ministerial group on the misuse of drugs, which I chair, continues to develop the Government's strategy to reduce both the supply of and demand for illicit drugs. Recent measures include improved international co-operation, strengthened enforcement by Customs and police, and increased prevention measures in the health and education fields.
