In the first ConservativeHome Q&A, Ann Widdecombe answers the questions you raised. Next Friday we'll publish Ed Vaizey MP's answers to your questions.
Gerard McGuigan: You are possibly one of the Party's few gems, will you ever return to frontline politics?
It is not for me to decide whether I will ever return to front line politics. Such positions are by invitation only! However it is generally known, if this Parliament is a normal length, I expect to retire at the end of it and therefore it is unlikely that any invitation would be forthcoming.
Derek: I would like to know whether she still believes that we should have a "no tolerance" policy on drugs, including cannabis. How would she tackle the growing problem of drugs today?
Yes, I believe more than ever that we should have a ‘no tolerance’ policy on drugs including cannabis. I saw Giuliani’s project in New York and was much impressed by it. Clearly the drugs menace will continue to grow unless we tackle it in a serious and determined way.
