UK: Mystery backer comes forward to fund independent drugs council

A new drugs council could be set up to work independently from the Home Office to ensure political freedom for scientists, Professor David Nutt, the Government’s former chief drug adviser, said.

Professor Nutt disclosed he had been approached by a “charitable benefactor” who offered to fund a new committee to explore the issues without external influence.

Prof Nutt was forced to step down from the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs by Alan Johnson, by the Home Secretary last month.
