HC Deb 12 January 1995 vol 252 cc203-4W
26. Mr. Flynn

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is his assessment of the percentage of British prisons in which the use of illegal drugs use is widespread.

Mr. Michael Forsyth

The Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 enables the introduction of mandatory drug testing. This will enable an assessment of the extent of drug misuse to be made.
