	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/03/2015 answer text <p /> <p>Alcohol and drug offences can have a very serious impact on individuals and wider communities, while also being a burden on our courts. This is why we have tough sentences in place for the most serious offences, including a life sentence for supply of Class A drugs.</p><p> </p><p>Our approach on drugs remains clear. We must prevent drug abuse in our communities, help dependent individuals through treatment and wider recovery support, while ensuring law enforcement protects society by stopping the supply.</p><p> </p><p>The number of people found guilty at all courts of alcohol and drug offences, by police force area, in England and Wales, and the figures as a percentage of the population in each police authority area, from 2009 to 2013 (the latest available) can be viewed in the table.</p><p> </p><p>Court proceedings data for 2014 are planned for publication in May 2015.</p><table><tbody><tr><td
