Psychoactive Substances Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Paul Flynn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 20 January 2016. It occurred during Debate on bills on Psychoactive Substances Bill [Lords].

Will the hon. Gentleman tell us what attention the Committee gave to the fact that the only two countries in the world that have passed similar legislation have seen large increases in the use of these drugs? In Ireland, there was an increase from 16% to 22%, and in Poland there was a level increase of 3%, the biggest in its history. Is the Bill not going to have the same bad effect?
