  Drugs (Sentencing and Commission of Inquiry) Bill
  
  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  <p>The issue in this division was whether to approve the principle of the <a href="http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200405/cmbills/021/05021.i-i.html">Drugs (Sentencing and Commission of Inquiry) Bill</a>. Those voting Aye were supporting the Bill in principle. The Bill would have set up a Commission of Inquiry into the laws on Cannabis, specifically on whether the reclassification of Cannabis as a Class C drug should be revoked, and also would have created a mandatory minimum sentence of seven years' imprisonment for anyone convicted for a third time of supplying Class A drugs.</p>
  
  <p>In the event, fewer than 40 MPs participated in the vote and so the issue was not decided at this division.</p>
  
  <p>As this division was on a Private Members' Bill, no whips were applied.</p>
  
  --- COMMENTS AND NOTES ---
