HC Deb 06 April 2000 vol 347 c602W
Mr. Gordon Prentice

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what assessment he has made of the report of the Police Foundation Inquiry into the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971; and if he will make a statement. [117606]

Mr. Charles Clarke

The Government welcome the report by the Police Foundation. The report contains 81 recommendations which the Government will be considering over the coming months. However, the Government are not currently persuaded that the classification or overall legal framework for LSD, ecstasy or cannabis should be changed.
