Thank you for your request.  

We publish data from the Crime Survey for England and Wales on drugs misuse. The proportion of people reporting use of illicit drugs in the last year, by region can be found in Table 3.02 of Drug misuse in England and Wales appendix tables.  

Unfortunately, we do not hold data on drug seizures. The Home Office publish a report Seizures of drugs in England and Wales on the seizure of drugs in England and Wales by police force area.  

The Home Office may be able to provide further information on drug seizures for the period September 2019 to September 2023. They can be contacted via: crimeandpolicestats@homeoffice.gov.uk
