I haven't, I'm afraid—I've only been looking at this report. So, I appreciate that you may have better figures, but the figures in this report show that there's been a reduction. If you think that, since then, there's been a massive increase in the number of drugs deaths, then that obviously is a matter that we need to take very seriously.

I think—. The landscape has undoubtedly changed in the last 10 years since we launched the drugs strategy. My constituency in particular has suffered considerably from the rise of county lines—people who target the vulnerable, who use those people in order to make very, very large sums of money. So, austerity has created a vacuum that's being filled by criminal gangs. They're coming in from large cities like London, Birmingham and Liverpool and exploiting children and young adults, often with violent coercion, to get them to deal in drugs. And this is pretty terrifying, not just for the people who are involved but for whole communities who may be innocent bystanders who suddenly become victims.

So, drug-related violence in Cardiff has rocketed. Two years ago, three young men stabbed to death another young man, Lynford Brewster, in broad daylight on an estate in Llanedeyrn, in full view of several witnesses who endeavoured to save this young man's life. A year ago this week, a man was shot in the face in a flat in Roath where three others visited him. Happily, he survived, but it must have been terrifying for all the other people living in this block of flats. And a few months later, just two blocks away, another drug dealer, on this occasion, was stabbed through the heart following a drugs deal that had just been completed. Elsewhere in Roath, another resident got himself involved with a cocaine gang because he'd got himself into debt over marijuana, and he was allowing his house to be used to ratchet up £70,000-worth of deals over a small period of time.

Last June, we had to use the resources of the police to arrest people in raids over five days. Hundreds of police were deployed in something called Operation Red Jet, with chainsaws being used to break down the doors of dealers and hundreds of items, including knives, swords and a machete being confiscated—all that resource being spent by our police forces on attempting to deal with a problem that has, frankly, started to get out of control. So, I want to just use the remaining part of my time to urge people to think about prevention and, in particular, to ensure that schools are adequately dealing with this matter and also that youth services are available, particularly in the most vulnerable communities, so that there are trusted adults that young people can turn to if they start to become involved in being asked to sell drugs, because, otherwise, the consequences for young people are very, very serious and it can generally ruin their lives. So, I think we must emphasise the prevention aspect of this to try and ensure that more young people aren't ruining their lives, either by being drug takers but also being drug dealers.
