POLICE — CANNABIS OFFENCES

326. Hon Dr BRIAN WALKER to the minister representing the Minister for Police:

I thank the minister for his response to my question without notice 214.

Is the minister able to inform the house how many cannabis-related arrests have been made in the past calendar year, or in the most recent year for which data is readily available, and how many of those arrests resulted in —

(a) court appearances; and

(b) convictions?

Hon STEPHEN DAWSON replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. The following information has been provided to me by the Minister for Police.

The Western Australia Police Force advises that a response cannot be given in the required time frame. The honourable member may wish to place the question on notice.

(a)–(b) These questions will need to be referred to the parliamentary secretary representing the Attorney General for a response.
