Driving under Influence: Drugs
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the time taken to receive toxicology results on the prosecution of drug driving offences.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood
The Department for Transport has not made a specific assessment of the impact of the time taken to receive toxicology results on the prosecution of drug-driving offences.
Operational matters relating to evidential testing, forensic analysis and prosecutions are primarily for the police, the Home Office and the Crown Prosecution Service.
