Public Protection

The short answer is yes, they would. That is why we have the most substantial programme of drug rehabilitation in our history. It includes a massive expansion of treatment to an extent that was not thought of under the Conservative Government, and a regime of requirement by law, which we have changed, for people to have drug rehabilitation treatment. We are not there yet, but we are making progress, and I am grateful for the hon. Gentleman’s support in implementing that policy even more strongly.
