Acknowledged
We welcome the Committee’s view that Project ADDER demonstrates effective joint working across government and the positive reception of its success in piloting a more holistic, partnership approach to tackling drugs. Learning from Project ADDER continues to inform the implementation of the Government’s Drug Strategy, including the development of combating drug partnerships. As the Project ADDER pilot is set to continue until 2025, we recommend the Home Office provide us with an interim assessment of the pilot by January 2024. The Home Office must also provide us with an updated assessment of the pilot no more than three months after its conclusion in 2025.
