answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/07/2024 answer text <p>No recent assessment has been made of the potential merits of introducing ‘harm reduction centres’ for drug users, including any implications for UK drug legislation. Such centres are sometimes referred to as drug consumption rooms or safer consumption facilities and are understood to be locations where drug users could lawfully consume controlled drugs that they have purchased from criminal dealers.</p><p>Specifically in relation to Scotland, the Government will not interfere with the lawfully exercised prosecutorial independence of the Lord Advocate in respect of a pilot drug consumption room in Scotland. We will consider any evidence emerging from evaluation of that pilot in due course.</p> answering member constituency Kingston upon Hull North and Cottingham answering member printed Dame Diana Johnson question first answered 30/07/2024 16:21:51 answering member 1533 label Biography information for Dame Diana Johnson

Users of fireworks need to use them responsibly and be aware of animals close by, and those found guilty under the Act of causing animals unnecessary suffering can face up to five years’ imprisonment.</p><p> </p><p>Lower noise fireworks are commercially available to consumers to purchase if they wish to, potentially reducing distress to vulnerable groups and animals.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Animal welfare organisations such as the RSPCA also provide pet owners with advice on how to look after their pets during fireworks: <a href="https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rspca.org.uk%2Fadviceandwelfare%2Fpets%2Fgeneral%2Ffireworks%23%3A~%3Atext%3DNever%2520set%2520off%2520fireworks%2520near%2Cand%2520trees%2520with%2520roosting%2520birds.&amp;data=05%7C01%7Cpqteam%40defra.gov.uk%7C167ee6d3e76a4a0da50b08dbe1e277f2%7C770a245002274c6290c74e38537f1102%7C0%7C0%7C638352135014834694%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=P3fwzR9uKNzbttASbQFDCoLJjVMtc2yteN0ia%2BB7dsI%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">How To Keep Your Pets Safe During Fireworks | RSPCA</a>.</p> answering member constituency Keighley answering member printed Robbie Moore grouped question UIN 981 question first answered 15/11/2023 15:53:08 answering member 4861 label Biography information for Robbie Moore
