HC Deb 31 March 1999 vol 328 cc708-9W
Mrs. Ann Winterton

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office what assessment he has made of the overall equality in provision of drug misuse education and treatment across the United Kingdom since the publication of the Government's strategy document, "Tackling Drugs to Build a Better Britain". [79332]

Dr. Jack Cunningham

None. The UK Anti-Drugs Co-ordinator will report shortly on his assessment of provision of drugs education and treatment in England, based on the information in the local plans of Drug Action Teams which he received at the beginning of the year. It is for the Secretaries of State for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland respectively to provide support for drugs education and treatment appropriate to their needs.
