The leader of Hertsmere Borough Council is considering introducing random drug tests for councillors.
A Labour Party colleague asked in a written question whether Cllr Jeremy Newmark supported random testing of members for Class A drugs.
The council leader responded that there ‘may be a case for such testing’, subject to consultation with group leaders, according to the BBC.
He added that he would consider asking officers to ‘look into the implications of this in both legal and wider contexts’.
