When she expects to receive advice from the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs on the classification of ketamine.

Reply

In January this year, the Government asked the independent statutory advisory body, the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs, to provide an updated assessment of the harms of ketamine, including whether it should be reclassified to become a Class A drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. The ACMD is independent of Government and provides a broad range of recommendations, including advice on legislative changes.In March, the ACMD published its work programme for 2025. The programme sets out the ACMD’s intention to complete its ketamine assessment by the end of Autumn this year. When the council provides its advice, the Government will consider it carefully before deciding how to proceed.

If she will make an assessment of (a) the potential merits of establishing a National Day of Remembrance for Victims of Terrorism in the UK and (b) the length of time it would take to establish such a commemorative day.

Reply

This Government is committed to supporting victims and survivors of terrorism and understands that recognition and remembrance is an important part of their recovery.There is currently no single focal point for the nation to come together in reflection and remembrance of those sadly lost and impacted by terrorism.That is why, on Wednesday 19 March 2025, the Government launched a 12-week public consultation on a National Day for Victims and Survivors of Terrorism, helping the country to remember and honour those who have been tragically killed or impacted by terrorism.The consultation invites the public, including those affected by terrorism, to share their views around introducing a National Day, and ways it could be commemorated.
