Scientific Expertise On The Advisory Council On The Misuse Of Drugs

EDM number 1148 in 2010-12, proposed by Julian Huppert on 06/12/2010.
Categorised under the topic of Drugs misuse.

That this House expresses its concern that the proposed changes in the Police Reform and Social Responsibility Bill to the membership of the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs remove the requirement to have any members on the Council with specific scientific knowledge; recognises the importance of evidence-based policy making, especially in the area of drugs policy; and requests that the Government brings forward amendments to the Bill to ensure that a reasonable proportion of the members of the Council have relevant scientific experience.

This motion has been signed by a total of 23 MPs.
