EDM 1474: Peter Krykant

That this House is shocked and deeply saddened by the sudden death of Peter Krykant, a courageous campaigner for harm reduction and drug policy reform; sends sympathy and condolences to his family, friends and colleagues; recognises that his pioneering, unofficial, drug consumption van paved the way for the establishment of Britain’s first official Safer Drug Consumption Facility at The Thistle in Glasgow; pays tribute to his tireless work in challenging stigma and saving lives; and urges the Government to promote his caring and compassionate approach to drug policy and dedication to reducing drug-related deaths.
