Misuse of Drugs Ministerial Group

Asked by Grahame MorrisLabourHome OfficeTabled Answered 8 July 2026UIN 15685

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, on what date the Inter-Ministerial Group on drugs (a) last met and (b) will next meet.

Answered by Sarah Jones

The Drugs Strategy Ministerial Forum (DSMF) brings together Ministers from six departments (the Home Office, the Department for Health and Social Care, the Ministry of Justice, the Department of Work and Pensions, the Department for Education and the Ministry of Housing Communities and Local Government), along with other departments as appropriate, to ensure cross-government accountability and join-up on a range of drug-related activity.

The last DSMF was held in December, and the next meeting is being planned for the autumn.
