HC Deb 19 November 2001 vol 375 c90W
35. Mr. Gardiner

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what research he has conducted into the importing of khat into the UK and its re-exporting to countries in which it is a banned substance. [13375]

Mr. Bob Ainsworth

There has been no specific research, but Customs and Excise have previously estimated that up to seven tonnes of khat are imported into the United Kingdom every week. It is not known how much of this is re-exported.
