With Margaret Hodge MP and Leonard Hoffman
The third Highgate Debate to be held at Highgate Literary & Scientific Institution tackles the issue
of current drugs policy. Our two prominent speakers take opposing positions, roughly equating
to a ‘tender’ or a ‘tough’ approach to users. Molly Meacher will argue for a more liberal drugs
policy, while Will Blair will oppose any change. As with previous debates, they will be supported
by seconders from local 6th forms. Members of the audience will then be invited to make
contributions from the floor. The Debates will be free and open to the general public, as well as
HLSI members.
