Tough enforcement is a fundamental part of our drug strategy. The possession of any amount of a controlled drug is a criminal offence and the supply of a controlled drug is an even more serious offence. We are taking a smarter approach to restricting the supply of drugs: adapting our approach to reflect changes in criminal activity; using innovative data and technology; and taking coordinated partnership action to tackle drugs alongside other criminal activity.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 15/07/2019 14:49:06 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
