Possession of nitrous oxide, also<br />
known as ‘laughing gas’, will be<br />
illegal from 8 November <strong>2023</strong><br />
RUPERT MATTHEWS,<br />
Leicester, Leicestershire<br />
and Rutland Police and<br />
Crime Commissioner, has<br />
welcomed the imminent<br />
illegality of the misuse of<br />
nitrous oxide as a boost<br />
to his campaign to tackle<br />
anti-social behaviour<br />
(ASB).<br />
The Government has announced that possession of nitrous oxide, also<br />
known as ‘laughing gas’, will be illegal from 8 November <strong>2023</strong>. The move,<br />
announced as part of the government’s Anti-Social Behaviour Action Plan,<br />
will make nitrous oxide a controlled Class C drug under the Misuse of Drugs<br />
Act 1971.<br />
Consequences could include an unlimited fine, a visible community<br />
punishment, a caution – which would appear on their criminal record – and<br />
for repeat serious offenders, a prison sentence.<br />
Rupert Matthews said: “This is another positive move that will help to<br />
drive down anti-social behaviour in our communities.<br />
“I have received dozens of complaints about the silver canisters left<br />
behind by users of nitrous oxide. While the effects of abusing nitrous oxide<br />
are no laughing matter. Not only can it cause serious health issues, but<br />
its use leads to anti-social behaviour and criminality. This both blights<br />
communities and puts additional demand on our police officers.<br />
“This move is designed to deter young people from using the substance<br />
as a psychoactive substances and consequentially reduce anti-social<br />
behaviour.<br />
“Having supported the calls for nitrous oxide to be reclassified as a matter<br />
of urgency, I’m pleased to see the swift introduction of this legislation.”<br />
