Drugs Policies

EDM number 1223 in 2010-12, proposed by Paul Flynn on 20/12/2010.
Categorised under the topics of Crime and Drugs misuse.

That this House regrets that the national debate on drugs is trivialised and bedevilled by postures of party political advantage; believes that all parties accept that most Government policies since 1971 have failed to halt increased use of controlled drugs and perversely led to increasing drug deaths and crime; and calls on all parties to build on their shared views in order to introduce a united practical agreement on fresh strategies based on the evidence of successes achieved by other countries.

This motion has been signed by a total of 24 MPs.
