To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 8 June to Question 187573 on Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs, whether she is taking steps to increase transparency in the functioning of the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs, and whether her Department has received copies of the minutes of the Council since May 2013.
Chris Philp
The Minister of State, Home Department
The Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD) is an independent Non-Departmental Public Body, sponsored by the Home Office.
The operation of the Council is a matter for the ACMD, although my Department is aware that the ACMD follows and continues to develop its own standard operating procedure for using evidence in its reports.
The ACMD routinely publish their reports which can be found on Gov.uk.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
