Misuse of Drugs (Amendment) Bill 2015

Public bill · Government · Presented

Following a court ruling that made the Government’s method of banning certain drugs unconstitutional, the Bill would put those substances—including ecstasy, some benzodiazepines and “headshop” drugs—directly into the list of controlled drugs. It would also confirm earlier drug-control orders and take effect immediately after passage.

Formal long title

Bill entitled an Act to amend the Misuse of Drugs Act 1977; to confirm certain statutory instruments; and to provide for related matters
