House of Commons Home Affairs Committee International Drugs Conference Homerton College, Cambridge

Thursday 12 March 2015

Welcome

12th March 2015 Welcome to the Home Affairs Committee’s conference on Drugs Policy.

At the end of 2011, the Committee embarked on its first major inquiry into drugs in over a decade. The outcome of that inquiry, Drugs: Breaking the Cycle, recommended a fundamental rethink of the government’s approach to drugs, focusing first and foremost on minimising the damage caused to the victims of drug-related crime, drug users and others. We must recognise that the UK government cannot do this on its own: the global nature of the drugs trade, and the potential for displacement of drug cultivation and supply routes in response to law enforcement measures, mean that the international drug trade can only ever be tackled effectively by co- operative, coordinated international efforts.

New challenges continue to emerge. The rise in new psychoactive substances presents a major challenge for legislators and law enforces alike, and enforcing the ban on khat will pose a number of problems for police forces.

The United Nations General Assembly Special Session in 2016 represents a major opportunity to build international alliances to tackle these difficult issues at the global level.

I would like to thank everybody who has given up their time to participate in the conference . I am delighted that Rt Hon Lynne Featherstone MP, the Minister of State for Crime Prevention, has agreed to deliver our keynote speech, and I am particularly grateful to those of you who have come here either on your way to or from the UN Commission on Narcotic Drugs Meeting in Vienna.

As the 2010 Parliament draws to a close, the findings from this conference will influence the Home Affairs Committee’s agenda in the next Parliament.

Rt Hon MP, Chairman of the Committee
