Drugs Policy

Proceeding contribution from Paul Sweeney (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 23 October 2018. It occurred during Debate on Drugs Policy.

My hon. Friend makes a powerful point about the effectiveness of safe drug consumption rooms—a critical issue for my constituency, where the drug-related death rate is 1,000% higher than the EU average. Glasgow also has an HIV epidemic. Does he agree that there is a real concern that correlation may be confused with causation? Much of the evidence that has been cited to show that safe drug consumption rooms are not effective does not necessarily show that.
