Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 2 June 2021 to Question 7944 on Drugs: Misuse, if she will publish any correspondence received from (a) the Lord Advocate, (b) the Crown Office and (c) Scottish Government Ministers on the use of drug consumption rooms in Scotland.

The Home Office has not received any direct representations from the Lord Advocate or the Crown Office on the issue of drug consumption rooms and currently has no plans to publish correspondence received from Scottish Government Ministers on this subject.

Tackling drug misuse is a priority for this government and we are clear that action is needed across all four nations to reduce the harms caused. We are committed to working across the UK and have regular contact with the Scottish Government at ministerial and official level on this issue
