Drug adviser sacking was ‘humiliation’, says colleague
Dr Simon Campbell resigned from the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs on Tuesday after Professor David Nutt was forced to step down for criticising Government policy, especially relating to cannabis.
He was one of three advisers to go this week taking the total of those who have resigned in support of Prof Nutt to five.
It came as Mr Johnson promised not to pre-judge advice from the ACMD before receiving it.
