Ministers Must Give Priority To Most Dangerous Drugs – Huhne

Commenting on the Home Office drugs misuse statistics for 2008-9, Liberal Democrat Shadow Home Secretary, Chris Huhne said:

“These alarming figures show that the Government has failed to tackle the supply and use of the worst drugs like cocaine, particularly among young people.

“The Government should give top priority to seizing Class A drugs and cracking down on dealers. By ignoring the experts of the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs on which drugs matter most, ministers have helped reduce the importance of tackling the most harmful substances.”
