Drugs policy

Asked if the Prime Minister would consider the proposals on drugs policy put forward by Bob Ainsworth today, the PMS said no. Asked if the Prime Minister would consider the potential tax revenues, the PMS said that the Government was not in favour of legalisation of drugs.

Asked why the Government took that approach, the PMS said that drugs caused a lot of harm in society and we did not think legalising drugs would be consistent with minimising that harm.
