Proceeding contribution from Patricia Ferguson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 13 October 2025. It occurred during Backbench debate and Select Committee statement on Glasgow Safer Drug Consumption Facility.


Glasgow Safer Drug Consumption Facility

I hope that my hon. Friend will forgive me, as the impartial Chair of the Committee, for not criticising or commenting on the failings or otherwise of the SNP, whose Members are not, as he points out, here this evening. He is absolutely right that this is not an either/or. It is important that the provision is part of a range of options offered. If any of those options can help to reduce the drug death numbers in Scotland, they must be considered seriously, and that is what we suggest.
