Campaigners are joyous after Parliament was pushed into the move by a 210,000-strong petition on its own website

MPs will hold a full debate on whether Britain should legalise cannabis, sell it in shops and tax it to fund the NHS.

Campaigners are joyous after Parliament was pushed into the move by a 210,000-strong petition on its own website.

Today the petition became one of two to have a formal date set for its debate - the other is a bid to sack Jeremy Hunt.

It will be discussed in Westminster Hall, the second-biggest Commons venue after the chamber itself, on October 12.

And it will be led by Labour MP Paul Flynn, who has campaigned for more than a decade to allow the drug for medicinal use.
