Clause 10 - Drug testing for under-eighteens
Criminal Justice Bill
8:45 pm
Mr Hilary Benn (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Home Office; Leeds Central, Labour)
We think that testing 14-year-olds and above is a sensible place to start. However, in evaluating the findings of the pilots we will need to consider the evidence produced and return to the debate later. We want to undertake testing that is sensible, in order to address the problem that hon. Members have identified.
