As MSPs debated drug law reform on Tuesday, Labour's Jackie Bailies ripped into SNP inaction, hypocrisy & deflection over Scotland's drug death epidemic
It comes as the Scottish Parliament was debating the SNP Drug Reform Bill which includes the proposed pilot of a safe consumption room for drugs moves closer.
The Bill also includes the SNP pledge to decriminalise drugs for personal use, which opposition parties see as the SNP creating constitutional grievances with the UK government.
Regarding the drug consumption rooms, Scotland’s Lord Advocate has said it “would not be in the public interest” to prosecute users of such a facility for drugs possession while the Home Office has confirmed it will not intervene on any plans.
Labour’s Jackie Baillie said safe consumption rooms were first proposed six or seven years ago yet no progress has been made in this time.
She said: “Clearly nothing has been done for six to seven years.
“I appreciate the current Lord Advocate’s position.
“But it’s the same Scottish Government, the same policy for a safe consumption room, and that policy has simply not been delivered before.”
