Drug use in prison to come under spotlight in Tynwald

Liberal Vannin’s Zac Hall will ask for a written answer from the Home Affairs Minister regarding exactly how many prisoner drug tests have been carried out over the past five years.

In addition, he’ll request the number who tested positive under the programme before asking Juan Watterson types of illegal drugs have been seized inside the Island’s prison and their quantities.

Mr Hall will request the figures for both inmates and visitors.
