Khat ban begins 24th June 2014

Story: Rohan Francis

Police representatives attended a government briefing at the Home Office in May to hear the latest on the date for banning the stimulant herb, Khat, which is now likely to come into force on Tuesday 24th June.

At the time of going to press, the Khat ban is awaiting final approval by the Privy Council at a meeting on 27th May. Assuming their approval is given, Khat will become a Class C classified drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act.

Update

The Khat ban received final approval by the Privy Council on 27th May. Details of the legislation can be found on the Government archive:
