What discussions he has had with the Scottish Executive on crime prevention, with particular reference to a strategy against drug misuse in Scotland.

My right hon. Friend and I have discussions with Scottish Executive Ministers on a wide range of issues, but as he knows crime prevention and tackling drug misuse are primarily devolved matters.

While I accept unreservedly my hon. Friend's reply, does he welcome the suggestion that, to tackle the problem of drugs coming into the United Kingdom, the Serious Organised Crime Agency for Scotland should be established in Gartcosh in my Constituency? If that is true, can I depend on the full support of the Scotland Office and our right hon. Friend the Secretary of State?

I am aware of that suggestion. Should that campus be chosen, it will be due in no small measure to the way in which my right hon. Friend has argued the case of his Constituency for the site of such a facility. As well as acknowledging that these are devolved matters, we should pay tribute to the tremendous work of the Scottish Crime and Drug Enforcement Agency, which has brought to book hundreds of criminals involved in drug dealing. We are all aware of the scourge of drug dealing in our constituencies. These people should be subject to the full weight of the law, and if the proposal that my right hon. Friend mentioned helps to bring that about we would all support it.
