The Government will do “whatever it takes” to clamp down on the use of ketamine, a Cabinet minister has told MPs.

Leader of the House of Commons Lucy Powell said many members see the “real, dangerous impact” of increased use of the drug, as ministers seek advice as to whether it should be reclassified as a class A drug.
