Letter from Vernon Coaker MP, Parliamentary
Under Secretary of State, Home Office
Thank you for your recent letter to the Home
Secretary, received on 3 June, asking for a memorandum on why
the Government rejected the advice from the Advisory Council on
the Misuse of Drugs about the classification of cannabis and how
the decision on cannabis reflects the Government's commitment
to evidence-based policy-making. Your letter has been passed to
me for reply as the Minister responsible for this policy area.
I attach the Government's memorandum.
June 2008
