MP’s aim to tackle pushers
A PRIVATE Member’s Bill which could help to end the spiral of misery caused by drug pushers is to be presented lo Parliament by Ribble Valley’s MP Nigel
Evans. The Bill, which has the short title,
“Drugs (Sentencing and Commission of Enquiry)’’ and the long title; “A Bill to make provision about sentencing for persons guilty of an offence in connec tion with the supply or on offer to sup ply Class A drugs and to establish a commission of enquiry into the effects classification of cannabis”, will be put before the House of Commons for its first reading on Fridaj' February 25th. The Bill will mean a mandatory seven
years jail if a dealer is caught selling Class A drugs for the third time. Any adult convicted of selling Class A drugs to a minor for profit will receive a custo
dial sentence. It will also establish an independent
commission to look into the effects of cannabis and to make recommendation to the Government relating to its classi
fication. Speaking on the Private Member’s
Bill, Mr Evans said: “This will address and review many of the problems that the selling of Class A drugs cause for
millions of people. “It is a fact that drug-related offences

Currently there is confusion among youngsters and the police as how to treat the drug, and the setting up of an independent commission will present the Government with options as to the most measured response to take. “This Bill will be tough on pushers of

and the president won the prize for the best competition results over the previ ous year. Mrs Mot- tershaw reminded members that the W1 quiz is to be held on January 31st.
Mr Atkinson explained that the Primula and Auricula Society was formed in 1893 and that soon after this its onerous rules were formulated governing the standards to be achieved for exhibi tion purposes. These are indeed stringent.
His talk was fully illus trated by slides show ing the enormous variety of flowers available today virtu ally all of which owe their existence due to the society’s cross pollinating and prop agating since its for mation.
The February meeting of the WI is the ACM when there will be a silent auction. Mrs Mottershaw reminded members that a new treasurer is needed for the com ing year, otherwise there is a possibility that Clayton-le-Dale will be suspended for three years and the assets frozen. Mem bers were asked if anyone was willing to take on this position or consider sharing it.
