A furious row has erupted in Britain after a long-awaited Home Office report on drug abuse prompted claims by the Liberal Democrats that it was "suppressed" by the Conservative party.
Norman Baker, Liberal Democrat Home Office drugs minister, said the report had been suppressed by the Conservatives.
Deputy prime minister Nick Clegg repeated the claim and said the survey — which found the “toughness” of a country’s drug enforcement policy did not affect the level of substance abuse — showed the “war on drugs” was failing.
The Liberal Democrat leader said there was now an urgent need for reform and accused the Conservatives of a “totally misplaced, outdated, backward-looking view” of the issue.
