I am really pleased with the announcement today in the Queen’s Speech regarding the ban on legal highs.  The increasing use of legal highs has been one of growing local concern in the towns, especially following the untimely and sad death of Jimmy Guichard.  Their sale and use is an issue I campaigned on in the last Parliament and I am pleased that the Government has listened to these concerns and will bring forward legislation to introduce a ban on this new generation of psychoactive drugs.
