What is the UK's drugs control strategy? Is it working? What are the alternatives?
In the light of a recent high-profile conference at Cumberland Lodge, HH Judge Daniel Pearce-Higgins QC will report on the expert testimony given on the current drugs control system, its effectiveness, and the potential improvements that were suggested at the conference.
Whatever its political hue, a new government will take office in 2010. What will be the constraints upon it in the area of drugs control? What advice would experts seek to give it? Are there differences in the way the major parties see the path ahead?
