Preface

Origin and remit of Inquiry

We were set up in August 1997 by The Police Foundation, with the assistance of the Prince’s Trust, to review the effectiveness of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. Our report follows. Our membership and terms of reference are set out at Appendices 1 and 2 respectively.

We were assisted in our work by many organisations and individuals and we gratefully acknowledge here our indebtedness to all those who helped and supported us. Further details of this and of our programme of work are given in Appendices 3, 4 and 6.
