19. Mr. Rathbone

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he last discussed with the Director General of the National Criminal Intelligence Service further initiatives to counter illegal drug trafficking and dealing. [15300]

Mr. Maclean

My right hon. and learned Friend has not had such discussions recently with the Director General of the National Criminal Intelligence Service. However, the director general and his staff have regular contacts with Ministers and officials on a wide range of issues concerning serious and organised crime.
