UK: Case for full drugs review growing by the day

Simon Hughes

The Liberal Democrat website

Friday 15 Jun 2001

---
Simon Hughes MP, Liberal Democrat Shadow Home Secretary, commenting on the
change of policy by Brixton police towards people found in possession of
small amounts of cannabis, said:

'The public will fully understand why the police want to focus their
resources on the more serious dealers and organised gangs, than the small
time users. People are more concerned about serious crimes of violence and
crime against others, than small time recreational use of drugs.'

'The case for a full review of drugs laws grows by the day. A change of
policy by the police in Brixton is no substitute for a full-scale
reassessment of the law. The new Government must be prepared to get real
and address these serious matters properly.'
