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.
