Mr. Barry Jones: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement about the priorities of his
Department for the UK presidency of the European Union in respect of drug abuse. [40298]
Mr. George Howarth: The United Kingdom Presidency has given priority to action against drug trafficking and drugs misuse, in
particular by building on the wide range of work already underway across the three pillars of the European Union, which covers the
responsibilities of a number of Government Departments. A main objective for the Home Office, in addition to ongoing practical
activity, such as implementation of the Joint Actions on new synthetic drugs and approximation of drugs laws and practices, has been
to launch consideration of a new five-year European Union drugs strategy, which would take effect from 2000. We have tabled detailed
proposals of the key aims and goals of the new strategy.
We have also played a significant part in ensuring an effective input to European Union co-ordination in the preparatory process for
the United Nations General Assembly Special Session on Drugs, being held in New York in June, particularly in areas of direct
interest to the Home Office, such as precursor chemicals, amphetamine-type stimulants, judicial co-operation, money laundering and
drugs demand reduction.

Mr. Barry Jones: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what progress has been made in countering drug abuse; and if
he will make a statement. [35176]
Mr. George Howarth: A new Treatment and Testing Order, included as one of the measures in the Crime and Disorder Bill, will give
courts the power to require drug misusing offenders to undergo treatment. The new Order will be rigorously enforced and include the
use of drug testing to enable the courts to monitor the progress of offenders at review hearings.
In addition, Ministers are considering proposals from Keith Hellawell--the United Kingdom Anti-Drugs Co-ordinator for a new
anti-drugs strategy which will be launched in the next few weeks.
