  • Legal Highs Notting Hill Carnival

    • Reference: 2015/2638
    • Question by: Victoria Borwick
    • Meeting date: 16 September 2015
    Before this year's Notting Hill Carnival, attendees were warned by Paul Gibson, London Ambulance Service Tactical Commander, not to take legal highs due to the potential for those consuming them needing emergency treatment. In one incident alone at this year's Carnival - police confiscated 400 canisters of nitrous oxide. Can you update us as to what steps you, MOPAC and the Metropolitan Police Service have taken to further discourage the use of legal highs in London?
