§ 45. Mr. DuffyTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many cases of the possession of the drug crack are known to the South Yorkshire police; and what further action he plans for South Yorkshire to deal with this potential threat.
§ Mr. Peter LloydFigures supplied to the national drugs intelligence unit, which may not be complete, show that the South Yorkshire police have made two seizures of crack. In addition, in the course of police investigations, a number of other people in South Yorkshire had admitted to the use of crack. The illicit supply and misuse of drugs will continue to be investigated by the police and, under the new drug prevention initiative announced last year, we are willing to consider the provision of assistance for the implementation of any local drug prevention measures.
