I move amendment No. 2:

In page 5, between lines 22 and 23, to insert the following:

“Possession of controlled drugs for personal use

8. Notwithstanding anything in the Misuse of Drugs Acts 1977 to 2015, in any proceedings for an offence under those Acts it shall be a defence to prove that the defendant had in his or her possession a controlled drug for his or her personal use and for no other purpose.”.
