Hitchens and Paddick to debate drug laws

A date for your diaries: Mail on Sunday columnist Peter Hitchens is going head-to-head with former Met police deputy assistant commissioner Brian Paddick over drug laws. They will debate the question "Drug laws in Britain - a waste of time or an essential barrier to grave danger?"

The debate will form this year's Tom Olsen lecture at St Bride's on 24 October. Entry is £10 and guests arriving at 6pm will be able to enjoy a pre-debate drink.

Tom Olsen, who died in 1987, had a long career in journalism as a reporter, leader-writer, editor and author. He spent the last 15 years of his life as the wine correspondent of the Sunday Telegraph.
