Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, when she expects to publish the report by the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs on Part 2 review on barriers to research affecting Schedule 1 drugs; and if she will make a statement.

As the ACMD is an independent Non-Departmental Public Body (NDPB), sponsored by the Home Office, the timings concerning its report on Barriers to Research is a matter for the ACMD.

I expect to receive an update from the ACMD in due course.
