<p>The Home Office does not hold this data centrally. The Home Office collects data
on the number of people arrested for drug offences and on the number stopped and searched
on suspicion of drug offences. However, cannabis possession offences cannot be separately
identified. These data are published in the annual Police Powers and Procedures statistical
publication, which can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/police-powers-and-procedures-england-and-wales</p><p>The
next release is scheduled for Thursday 19th November and will cover the period up
to the year ending 31 March 2015.</p>
