HC Deb 25 May 1993 vol 225 c545W
Mr. leuan Wyn Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what information he has on the proportion of secondary school children in each local education authority area in Wales who have taken illegal drugs.

Mr. Gwilym Jones

A 1992 survey by the Health Promotion Authority for Wales reported that 36.6 per cent. of all fifth formers had used some form of drug or other substance, excluding alcohol and tobacco, during that year. That data broken down to local education authority level are too small to be significant.
