DRUGS DEATHS IN SWEDEN

Early day motion 617, tabled 11 February 2004 by Paul Flynn (Labour). Signed by 7 members.

That this House notes the record fourfold increase in drugs deaths in Sweden since 1995; believes that the report from the Swedish Forensic Medicine Institute proves that the country has probably the highest per capita number of drugs death in Europe; urges Members to desist from favourable comments about Sweden's repressive anti-drugs measures that are demonstrating that harsh prohibition of drugs perversely increases drugs use, crime and deaths.

Signatures by party: Labour 5, Liberal Democrat 2.
