<p>The Government has not made a formal assessment of the benefits of drug checking
facilities, but it recognises the potential harm reduction benefits of them.</p><p>The
Government facilitates drug checking facilities provided that the possession and supply
of controlled drugs are licensed by the Home Office Drugs and Firearms Licensing Unit
or, exceptionally, relevant exemptions under the Misuse of Drugs Regulations 2001
may apply.</p><p>Ministers are clear that drug checking services must not condone
drug use and should only be delivered where licensed and operated responsibly, in
line with Government policy to ensure that they discourage drug use and signpost potential
users to treatment and support.</p>
