Monday 27th April 2026

Asked by: Baroness Goudie (Labour - Life peer)

Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the ease with which people can access drugs that can be used for drug-facilitated sexual assault.

Answered by Lord Hanson of Flint - Minister of State (Home Office)

The Government is committed to tackling all illegal drugs, which is key to delivering our missions to make our streets safer and to improve our nation’s health.

We have commissioned the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs to review the effect of controlled drug use on women and girls, including links to domestic abuse and wider violence, and to make recommendations.
