§ Mr. Gordon PrenticeTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he expects cannabis grown for therapeutic purposes to be available for large-scale clinical trials. [46574]
§ Mr. George HowarthI am aware of one holder of a Home Office licence to grow cannabis who intends to carry out large scale clinical trials. Although the timing of those trials is a matter for the licensee, I understand that the cannabis is currently expected to be available to them in about 18 months.
