MSPs have called for an update on the progress of plans to create safe drug consumption rooms in Scotland.
Audrey Nicoll, the convener of Holyrood’s criminal justice committee, has written to the Crown Agent John Logue, asking for an update on the Crown Office’s plans to draw up plans to circumvent UK drug laws and create a safe drug consumption room.
The Crown Office is currently working on making a case to the Lord Advocate which would effectively allow police not to prosecute those using drug consumption rooms.
