star this property question text To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction's European Drug Report 2019: Trends and Developments, published in June 2019, and in particular the findings that the UK has the highest rate of cocaine use among young adults in Europe with almost five per cent of 15–34 year-olds having used cocaine in the last 12 months and three per cent of schoolchildren aged 15–16 having tried the drug; and what action they plan to take as a result of these findings in order to reduce drug use amongst young people, including any plans to establish effective prevention strategies and drug recovery services. more like this

star this property answer text <p>We are concerned by the findings of the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction’s <em>European Drug Report 2019</em> on the prevalence of cocaine use in the United Kingdom, especially among younger people. The Home Secretary has appointed Professor Dame Carol Black to lead a major review which will build on existing Government strategies to combat drugs and will examine the harms that drugs cause and the best ways to prevent drug-taking. The report will also examine the drivers behind recent trends such as the increased recreational use of Class A drugs by young adults. The plan is for Dame Carol to present the Home Secretary with a report detailing her key findings and proposals by the end of the summer. The outcome of this meeting will shape phase 2 of the review. The Government will respond to recommendations made in the report once it is finalised and published.</p> more like this
