answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/09/2017 answer text <p>The Government has no plans to introduce such powers at the current time.</p><p>It is an offence for an occupier or person managing any premises to knowingly permit the production or attempted production and supply of a controlled drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. It is also an offence to prepare opium for smoking and to smoke cannabis, cannabis resin or prepared opium. The Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 introduced closure powers which allow the police and local councils to quickly close down premises which are causing nuisance or disorder. The 2014 Act also introduced the absolute ground for possession which makes it easier for landlords to evict tenants whose anti-social behaviour or criminality has been proven by another court.</p> answering member constituency Truro and Falmouth answering member printed Sarah Newton question first answered 05/09/2017 08:08:10 answering member 4071 label Biography information for Sarah Newton
