Nottinghamshire's crime boss stands firm on the topic of cannabis as one fellow police and crime commissioner has called for the drug to be ranked as "Class A" - the same category as heroin, cocaine and ecstasy. Caroline Henry, the Police and Crime Commissioner for Nottinghamshire, stresses current legislation says cannabis is illegal, and "any discussion about legalisation is a matter for Parliament rather than PCCs".

But Prime Minister Liz Truss has “no plans” to classify cannabis as a Class A drug, Downing Street said earlier this month after it emerged Home Secretary Suella Braverman was open to the idea. The Home Secretary believes cannabis has been “effectively” legalised as it has not been “policed properly” and is “receptive” to calls for the drug to be upgraded from Class B to Class A, according to a source close to her.But and the Government was focused on “cracking down on illegal drugs”.
