House of Commons Paper Ser.

The Committee's interim report examines the cannabis drugs trade and drug culture in Northern Ireland, in the light of the reclassification of cannabis from Class B to Class C status. Their report seeks to highlight the differences between the situation in Northern Ireland compared to that of Britain and possible consequences of reclassification in this context. The Committee stresses the need to monitor closely what happens in Northern Ireland following the reclassification of cannabis, and that law enforcement authorities must be given full support in tackling this trade.
