CITIZENS' COMMISSION ON DRUGS

Early day motion 1668, tabled 20 October 1998 by Paul Flynn (Labour). Signed by 17 members.

That this House congratulates Channel Four for setting up a Citizens' Commission on drugs; applauds the thorough objective investigation by the commission in many countries; and believes that their conclusion that decriminalising soft drugs will reduce the harm caused by all drugs should persuade the Government to create a Royal Commission to investigate the reduction in hard drugs addiction, drug crime and deaths achieved in other countries.

Signatures by party: Labour 12, Liberal Democrat 5.
