I have seen in my own constituency the terrible damage that drug consumption does. It ruins individual lives and wrecks families and communities. That is why it is very important to get all the necessary measures in place to deal with it. Of course, such issues are substantially devolved to the Scottish Parliament. I pay tribute to the Scottish Drug Enforcement Agency, which has done a magnificent job since its inception, and to the measures that have been put in place through the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002. Since that was enacted, more than £5.5 million of assets have been seized from suspected drug dealers. That is hitting drug dealers where it hurts them most—in their pockets. A clearer signal might have been sent from this House if the Conservative party had supported that Act.

The Minister will be aware of reports that, in Scotland, a line of cocaine is cheaper than cappuccino. There has been a 12 per cent. increase in drug-related deaths in Scotland. When will the Government take action to end this epidemic by securing our ports and airports and ending an appalling trade that ends in the deaths of young people?

Several reports have been published covering the liberalisation of licensing hours in Scotland in 1976. Work done by the Office of Population, Censuses and Surveys in 1986 examined the impact of the changes on alcohol consumption between 1976 and 1984. This concluded that the extension to licensing hours tended to be seen as having led to more sensible drinking.The Time to Call Time report published by the Adam Smith Institute in 1986 included evidence that the 1976 reforms in Scotland had been followed either by reductions in certain criminal offences or increases that were below those experienced in England and Wales.The Research and Statistics Directorate of the Home Office conducted a comprehensive review in the late 1990s of all research into alcohol and crime over a period of 20 years. Its 1999 report, ““Alcohol and Crime: Taking Stock””, concluded that the Scottish experience of more liberal drinking hours appeared to have worked well, changing the binge drinking culture to a slower drinking, more female-friendly environment. The independent Nicholson Committee, which looked at experience in Scotland and elsewhere, considered that the majority of people in Scotland drink sensibly and responsibly and that the licensing system should be as free from restrictions as possible.The Government recognise that a number of factors contribute to crime and disorder and that the relaxation of licensing hours on its own will not in itself lead to a reduction in crime and disorder. We do, however, believe that the experience of Scotland and elsewhere indicates that flexible opening can be part of the solution. That is why the Government are pursuing licensing reform as one part of their wider programme to tackle alcohol-related harm.

While I accept unreservedly my hon. Friend's reply, does he welcome the suggestion that, to tackle the problem of drugs coming into the United Kingdom, the Serious Organised Crime Agency for Scotland should be established in Gartcosh in my constituency? If that is true, can I depend on the full support of the Scotland Office and our right hon. Friend the Secretary of State?

I am aware of that suggestion. Should that campus be chosen, it will be due in no small measure to the way in which my right hon. Friend has argued the case of his constituency for the site of such a facility. As well as acknowledging that these are devolved matters, we should pay tribute to the tremendous work of the Scottish Crime and Drug Enforcement Agency, which has brought to book hundreds of criminals involved in drug dealing. We are all aware of the scourge of drug dealing in our constituencies. These people should be subject to the full weight of the law, and if the proposal that my right hon. Friend mentioned helps to bring that about we would all support it.
