Question to the Home Office:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they have any proposals to change the terms of reference, budget or membership of the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs.
Answered by
Baroness Williams of Trafford
Captain of the Honourable Corps of Gentlemen-at-Arms (HM Household) (Chief Whip, House of Lords)
There are no plans to review the role, duty and constitution of the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD) as set out in the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971.
The budgets for the ACMD are reviewed annually as part of the Home Office business planning round. There are no current plans to change significantly the ACMD budget from current levels although we will continue to ensure the service is value for money in future.
The Home Office expects to begin an appointment round for the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs in 2017 in line with Cabinet Office’s Governance Code on Public Appointments.
