New drugs policy may be delayed, says minister

New policy principles about drugs may be delayed, according to the Island's Home Affairs Minister.

Jane Poole-Wilson faced a question for written answer from Douglas East MHK Joney Faragher about when the government's updated policy on drugs would be published.

In response, Mrs Poole-Wilson said workshops had been held for ministers and Tynwald members and the proposed policy principles were being finalised.

But she added the document might not be ready by November's Tynwald sitting because of limited resources.
