§ Mr. Ian McCartneyThe Government's anti-drugs Strategy "Tackling Drugs To Build A Better Britain" has set, as one of its four Key Performance Targets, the target
"to reduce access to all drugs amongst young people (under 25) significantly, and to reduce access to the drugs which cause the greatest harm, particularly heroin and cocaine, by 50 per cent. by 2008 and 25 per cent. by 2005".
School children are, of course, included in this target, although no target relating specifically to school-age children has been set.
