Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs
(asked on 22nd October 2024) - View Source
Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, for what reason the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs has not published an annual report since 2019; and if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of ensuring that the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs resumes publishing these reports.
The Minister for Policing, Fire and Crime Prevention met the Chair of the ACMD, Professor Owen Bowden-Jones on the 29th October 2024, as part of this Government’s wider work on tackling the harms associated with drug misuse.
Regular meetings with the ACMD or its Chair will be held as appropriate, in accordance with the important work it does in assessing the evidence of drug harms.
The government will consider outstanding and forthcoming reports carefully.
The ACMD is independent. The publication of its annual report is a matter for the ACMD.
