Questions about cannabis Don Barnard Letters, Colchester Evening Gazette Thursday 19 Apr 2001 WITH the general election due to be called at any moment, Labour's local canvassers, policy makers and campaign organisers will no doubt have received their 600 page policy guide. This guide gives all the stock, party line answers to questions that they may be asked about by the prospective voters.
