tabling member constituency	Cardiff Central

uin	26863
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/02/2016 answer text <p>We take a zero tolerance approach to drugs in prison and there are already a range of robust measures in place to detect drugs, including the use of search dogs and intelligence-led searches. More than 300 dogs have received specialist training to detect NPS. We recently introduced tough new laws which will see those who smuggle packages over prison walls, including new psychoactive substances, face up to two years in prison. Those who involve themselves in the distribution of drugs in our prisons should know that they will face prosecution and extra time behind bars.</p><p>We have begun a pilot to test for the use of psychoactive substances, and in April 2016, we plan to introduce widespread mandatory drug testing of prisoners for psychoactive substances. Those who are found to have used psychoactive substances will face sanctions under prison rules, including by having days added to their time in custody.</p> answering member constituency South West Bedfordshire answering member printed Andrew Selous question first answered 24/02/2016 12:07:52 answering member 1453 label Biography information for Andrew Selous
