HC Deb 20 January 2003 vol 398 c32W
17. Mr. Martyn Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what plans he has to support communities in the fight against drugs. [91440]

Mr. Bob Ainsworth

The new communities target was simplified to focus it on what matters most—reducing drug related crime. The target is to reduce drug related crime, as measured by the proportion of offenders testing positive at arrest.

Additionally we have invested through the Community Against Drugs fund to empower local people to take action on local problems.
