Drugs Prohibition
EDM number 512 in 2005-06, proposed by Paul Flynn on 06/07/2005.
That this House welcomes the confirmation by the Prime Minister's Strategy Unit that drugs prohibition is futile and counter-productive; regrets the Government's 2002 reiteration of its commitment to the evidence-free policy of prohibition; and believes that the £20 billion crime cost and the destruction of human lives demands a rigorous regulatory impact assessment of global prohibition and the adoption of harm reduction remedies that have reduced drug harm in Portugal, Belgium, the Netherlands, Australia and Switzerland.
This motion has been signed by a total of 4 MPs.
