Clause 10 - Drug testing for under-eighteens
Criminal Justice Bill
6:45 pm
Mr Hilary Benn (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Home Office; Leeds Central, Labour)
It might reassure the hon. Gentleman were I to say that there will be no question of providing a urine sample. The technology has moved on and, as I saw during a visit to Bridewell in Leeds, one of the pilot areas for drug testing for over-18s, a swab is placed under the tongue in the same way that a person's temperature would be taken.
