answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/01/2022 answer text <p>The Government has no plans to devolve powers on drug policy, such as the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971, to the Scottish Government and has made no assessment of the merits or demerits of doing so.

We are committed to working closely with the Scottish Government on this issue to improve the particular challenges of drug abuse in Scotland.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse grouped question UIN 110441 question first answered 27/01/2022 15:45:51 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
