Policy forum Pre‐election party political drug policy briefing

Abstract

This paper reviews the drug policies offered by the main political parties. Labour is set on continuing with its strategy, investing in treatment while staying tough on supply; the Conservatives aim to transform the treatment sector by prioritising abstinence based programmes; the Liberal Democrats have abandoned their progressive position, leaving the Greens as the only advocates of regulation.
