HC Deb 25 January 1990 vol 165 cc839-40W
Dr. Godman

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what has been the number of prosecutions concerned with the trafficking in or possession of the drug crack in each of the past two years; and if he will make a statement.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

There have been no seizures of "crack" recorded by the police in Scotland. The available information on prosecutions relating to cocaine, of which "crack" is a derivative, are published in "Statistics of the misuse of drugs: seizures and offenders dealt with, United Kingdom, 1988—Scotland Tables", a copy of which will shortly be placed in the House of Commons Library.
