In case it is of interest, there was first thing this morning on the ACMD web site at:
http://drugs.homeoffice.gov.uk/drugs-laws/acmd/
an invitation to the public to apply to attend the next meeting at which one gathers the resignation
of the chair was to be discussed (see below). I sent in my application. Can't see mention of the
meeting on the site now but applications may still (I don't know) be being accepted.
