Clause 2 - Proof of intention to supply a controlled drug
Drugs Bill
3:45 pm
Mrs Cheryl Gillan (Shadow Minister, Home Affairs; Chesham and Amersham, Conservative)
It is a simple matter. I have used the device of removing subsection (4B), because I would like to hear what the Minister has to say about the burden of proof. I would prefer the burden of proof to fall on the defence. Once again, the matter will be dealt with not in the Bill but in regulation, but I would like to hear what the Minister says about the quantity of the drugs and the burden of proof.
