Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to the report, Drug driving: the tip of the iceberg, published by the Parliamentary Advisory Council for Transport Safety, what assessment she has made of the extent of variation in enforcement of drug driving laws across different police forces in England and Wales.

Enforcement of drug driving legislation and how available resources are deployed is an operational matter for individual Chief Constables and Police and Crime Commissioners to determine in conjunction with local crime and policing plans, taking into account the specific local problems and demands with which they are faced.

The Government will continue to support the police to ensure that they have the tools needed to enforce road traffic legislation.
