Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they can provide an update on their process of considering a reclassification of the drug ketamine.

The Government wrote to the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD) on 14 January to commission updated advice on ketamine, including whether it should be reclassified to become a Class A drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971.

This letter is published on GOV.UK. Updated harms assessment of ketamine: commissioning letter - GOV.UK

We will carefully consider the ACMD’s recommendations before making any decision.
