Introduce mandatory, regular drug testing for MPs, Lords & their staff.
Propose & adopt legislation within Parliament for regular, randomised drug testing.
Legislation has long been passed for other areas & should also apply to representatives & staff.
There is very low confidence in Parliament as a result of apparent high drug use & zero accountability for drug abuse.
It is against the public interest to have MPs with a drug dependency problem, and it leaves them open to blackmail.
Further, it is not helpful to the individual to ignore potential or prove drug use - proper rehabilitation should be offered to offenders.
