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.
