HC Deb 20 November 1995 vol 267 c38W
Mr. Flynn

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what assessment she has made as to which projects on illegal drug education in Britain have resulted in a decrease in drug use. [347]

Mr. Robin Squire

The 16 innovative drug education and prevention projects supported under the Department's grants for education support and training programme in 1995–96 will be independently evaluated. In addition, the Office for Standards in Education is undertaking a specific study of provision for drug education in schools during this academic year. This will take account of existing research findings on effective drug education and will establish evidence on best practice.
