About this programme
Andrew Marr asks how far scientific findings can influence the political agenda. Professor David Nutt argues for a rational debate on drugs policy based on objective evidence, while journalist Mark Henderson despairs that this will never happen while only one of the country's 650 MPs is a scientist. David Blunkett MP defends his profession, asserting that public opinion and perception must be taken into account, while former Number 10 adviser Jill Rutter shares her thoughts.
