Funding key to Nutt's plan

Professor David Nutt is saying he will establish a new drug advisory body if the current one is disbanded.
The key here is who will be funding it as its independence and credibility depend upon it.
Nutt refuses to say where the money is coming from but any hint of cash from pharmaceutical sources will scupper this plan.
The BBC reckon the present Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs costs £150,000 per year to run.
