Details

The Minister for Crime, Policing and Fire has written to the ACMD to commission their advice on raising the THC permissible in seed types used to grow industrial hemp varieties to at least 0.3% in line with other countries.

He also asks for the ACMD’s advice on amending the 2010 (Fees) Regulations so that the lower fee (of £580) applies to licences issued for the cultivation of any plant within the scope of the proposed revised industrial hemp licensing policy.
