Clause 22 - Financial provision
Drugs Bill
4:45 pm
Mrs Cheryl Gillan (Shadow Minister, Home Affairs; Chesham and Amersham, Conservative)
Annexe A of the regulatory impact assessment states:
''Benefits are derived from the reduction in individuals' offending (and therefore of crime more generally) as a result of entering treatment.''
I hope that the Minister will not wait for the reductions to feed through before she increases resources.
