Letter: Drugs and MEPs

Sir: Your article (16 January) on a European Parliament report on drugs is misleading. A large number of MEPs, including Labour members, had serious reservations about the report, as they do not believe its proposals will help in the fight against drugs. That is why a majority of MEPs from a wide range of political groups and nationalities voted for the report to be sent back to the European Parliament Civil Liberties Committee for further consideration.
