It seems that not even the death of a five year old child will persuade
the Labour government to review our drug policies via a Royal Commission.
The Labour MPs who are calling for a Royal Commission are suggesting
that there is an open and honest review of the evidence (Telegraph 11
August) yet the Government continue to dig their heels in.

How many more children need to die before this issue is given the
unbiased and objective attention it deserves? If drug policy remains as
it the future looks very bleak.
