HC Deb 14 June 2000 vol 351 c664W
16. Mr. Campbell-Savours

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office what proposals she has for further co-ordination of the Government's drugs policy. [124280]

Mr. Ian McCartney

The Government's drugs policy is set out and co-ordinated through our ten year Strategy, "Tackling Drugs to Build a Better Britain". The Anti Drugs Co-ordinator, Keith Hellawell, was appointed to co-ordinate and drive forward the strategy. The strategy contains challenging aims and targets across the whole of our policy. These are annually monitored and reported in the co-ordinator's national plan and report.

The current spending review is considering further ways to enhance co-ordination of the strategy. Results of our consideration will be published when the review is concluded.
