COCAINE AND CUTTING AGENTS

Early day motion 1466, tabled 12 May 2009 by Bob Spink (Independent). Signed by 22 members.

That this House welcomes the news that the international cocaine market is under pressure; recognises the Organised Crime Agency's success resulting in dramatically increased wholesale cocaine prices; notes with concern the use of chemicals such as the cancer-causing drug phenacetin, cockroach insecticide and pet worming powder as cutting agents which seriously increase the harmful effects of the drug; and calls on the Government to continue the war on drugs.

Signatures by party: Labour 12, Liberal Democrat 4, Social Democratic and Labour Party 3, Conservative 1, DUP 1, Independent 1.
