None of the people in shot are implicated)The fact that drugs were seized just once in the last year may be surprising given recent revelations about the interest in illegal drug sites on Parliament's computer network. However, this could suggest either the Metropolitan police are keeping Parliament drug-free or some people are successfully smuggling drugs into and around the Parliamentary estate. See also: Legal Highs Insider Midas On How New Drugs Took Off In BritainThe fact that evidence of cocaine use was found inside the toilets at the Houses of Parliament in Junesuggests that drug users may be getting away with it under the nose of the police. As a Class B drug, anyone found in possession of cannabis will have it confiscated by police and likely be placed under arrest.
