HC Deb 29 November 2000 vol 357 c681W
Mr. Dalyell

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement on the use of the criminal law in furtherance of the Government's anti-drugs strategy. [139395]

Mr. Charles Clarke

The criminal law underpins much of the Government's drugs strategy, "Tackling Drugs to Build a Better Britain", particularly the key aims of protecting communities from drug-related anti-social and criminal behaviour and stifling the availability of illegal drugs on our streets.

Enforcement of the law is a matter for the enforcement agencies, the Crown Prosecution Service and the courts.
