Psychoactive Substances Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Keith Vaz (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 October 2015. It occurred during Debate on bills on Psychoactive Substances Bill [Lords].

The Minister mentioned the Home Affairs Committee inquiry. In fact, the Government caught the Committee by surprise. We were expecting this Bill to come before the House in November. We have finalised our report, thanks to the efforts of the hon. Member for Enfield, Southgate (Mr Burrowes), and it is due to be published on Friday. I wish to put it on the record that Members of the House will be able to look at the deliberations of the Select Committee when it comes to the Committee stage of the Bill, because the Minister has moved so speedily and brought the Bill to the House before we expected it.
