PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
DRUGS POLICIES (20 December 2010)
Motion Details
That this House regrets that the national debate on drugs is trivialised and bedevilled by postures of party political advantage; believes that all parties accept that most Government policies since 1971 have failed to halt increased use of controlled drugs and perversely led to increasing drug deaths and crime; and calls on all parties to build on their shared views in order to introduce a united practical agreement on fresh strategies based on the evidence of successes achieved by other countries.
