There's Far Too Many To Count?

The Scottish Government is refusing to hand over details of the drug problem in Scotland, effectively "blocking" a UK-wide policy that would force drug addicts to seek help or lose benefits. Work and Pensions Secretary James Purnell says it is unacceptable for taxpayers' money to be effectively handed straight to drug dealers across Britain. Purnell claims that when UK officials tried to find out how many crack and heroin addicts were on benefits in Scotland, they were denied the information by the Scottish Government.
