Bob Ainsworth (Coventry North East, Labour)

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether her Department has (a) undertaken or (b)evaluated research on (i) harm caused by drugs and (ii) harm caused by the criminalisation of drugs.

HE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR DRUGS POLICY AT THE HOME OFFICE.   HE…WAS…RESPONSIBLE….WHY DIDN’T HE DO ANYTHING ABOUT DRUGS POLICY WHEN HE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR DRUGS POLICY????

and breathe…  My tin-hatted head makes me think that he’s asking this question because perhaps he’s aware of some unpublished research that the Home Office is sitting on.  That would be cool.
