Michael Gove said the UK Government plans to ban the sale of laughing gas to stop public areas being turned into drug-taking “arenas”.
“And that is why we need to crackdown on new manifestations of drug taking and these laughing gas canisters are an increasing scourge and one that has been reported to me as a constituency MP.”Mr Gove accepted that ministers had been advised not to ban laughing gas but said the UK Government had taken a different view.
“And we believe collectively that it is absolutely vital that we deal with this scourge and in the same way.”
