answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/07/2015 answer text <p>To protect young people and others from exposure to potentially dangerous substances, the Psychoactive Substances Bill provides for a blanket ban on the supply of psychoactive substances.</p><p>The Bill captures substances supplied for human consumption for their psychoactive effects. Schedule 1 to the Bill contains a wide list of exemptions, developed in conjunction with other government departments, capturing substances already controlled by existing regulation such as food, alcohol, caffeine, tobacco and medicines.</p><p>Further substances can be exempted following consultation between the Secretary of State, the Advisory Council for the Misuse of Drugs and other consultees as considered appropriate.</p><p>The Government does not support a regime which allows for the regulated sale of so called ‘low harm’ psychoactive substances and the regulation-making power in clause 3 is not designed for such a purpose (as evidenced by the absence of any associated provisions in the Bill to regulate the sale of approved ‘low harm’ psychoactive substances).</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 07/07/2015 15:54:36 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/07/2015 answer text <p>I frequently have calls with my NATO counterparts and discuss a range of issues including NATO. We are in regular contact with Romania and NATO Allies on the implementation of NATO’s Readiness Action Plan (RAP) agreed at the Wales Summit last September, which includes the development of the NATO Force Integration Units (NFIU) in six eastern Allies. In March 2015, the Secretary of State for Defence, my right hon. Friend the Member for Sevenoaks (Mr Fallon), visited Romania, calling on the President, Prime Minister and Defence Minister to discuss these issues. NATO Defence Ministers met in Brussels on 24-25 June to assess progress since Wales. It was agreed that overall there continued to be good progress on RAP implementation and that the six NFIUs would be fully manned by the end of the year. The UK is playing a leading role in this effort. Romania’s NFIU will support planning, conduct host nation liaison and facilitate the rapid deployment of the new Very High Readiness Joint Task Force. The UK will support the NFIU through the provision of a Staff Officer.</p> answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 07/07/2015 14:54:55 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington

uin	5405
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/07/2015 answer text <p>The Psychoactive Substances Bill, introduced in the House of Lords on 28 May 2015, will tackle the reckless trade in psychoactive substances. The Government attaches a high priority to bona fide scientific research. Schedule 1 to the Bill already excludes all investigational medicinal products and research regulated by the Medicines for Human Use (Clinical Trials) Regulations 2004.</p><p>The Government is engaging with the scientific community so that those conducting bona fide research which involves the human consumption of psychoactive substances fall outside of the scope of the Bill, and expect to table Government amendments on this issue.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 07/07/2015 15:52:26 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning
