Recommendation 17

Problem drug use in Scotland Published 4 Nov 2019 Paragraph 139 Addressed to Scotland Office

Scottish Affairs Committee Problem drug use in Scotland inquiry All items in this report Report on parliament.uk ↗ Inquiry on parliament.uk ↗

Recommendation (the committee's words)
Whilst we heard that the legalisation of drugs would deliver more benefits than decriminalisation, decriminalisation alone would be a radical departure from the Government’s current approach to drug policy. We therefore believe that the Government should focus on delivering decriminalisation.
