Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, when the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs plans to (a) conclude its inquiry and (b) produce its recommendations on Image and Performance Enhancing Drugs.

As the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD) is independent from Government, the timings concerning its report on image and performance enhancing drugs is a matter for the ACMD.

The ACMD publishes its advice concurrent to its presentation to ministers.

I expect to receive an update from the ACMD on its priorities and ongoing commitments later this year.
