Does the Minister have any plans to extend the regulations to testing for excessive use of other drugs while driving, either drugs which are prescribed or drugs which are being abused in view of the availability of these drugs at present?

Deputy Mitchell knows that alcohol is not the only drug the abuse of which can lead to proceedings. There are offences that are concerned with driving while under the influence of an intoxicant, which can be alcohol or which can equally be a number of other preparations. There are some difficulties in relation to other drugs in devising tests that would reveal the presence of those drugs. I am not in a position to say whether any new developments can be expected on that front but it is a problem that is receiving some attention.
