Mr. Gordon Prentice

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what discussions he has had with the BMA concerning its recent report on the therapeutic uses of cannabis; and if he will make a statement. [34459]

Mr. Boateng

My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State has not had any discussions with the British Medical Association (BMA) on the therapeutic use of cannabis. However, the Chief Medical Officer and Departmental officials met the BMA on 10 March to discuss their report on the therapeutic uses of cannabis.
