Welfare Reform Bill

Proceeding contribution from John Mason (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 27 January 2009. It occurred during Debate on bills on Welfare Reform Bill.
If it is real treatment, we are certainly in favour of it. However, the problem in Glasgow and elsewhere in Scotland in recent years is that the drug problem has been managed. That is what happened under the previous Scottish Government: the problem was only managed; it was not tackled. People were put on methadone. The present Scottish Government now offer support with methadone as well as help for people to get right off drugs, which is the only answer.
