(a) I am aware that the Netherlands Government banned the importation of miraa into that country. (b) I am not aware of any immediate plans by the UK to pass a similar legislation and ban miraa . (c) The Government is not making any efforts to promote miraa regionally or internationally due to the perception by authorities in a number of countries that miraa is a drug. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."}
