Nigel Voden, a Home Office drug advisor detained in police crack cocaine raid


A senior civil servant at Theresa May's Westminster HQ, Nigel Voden, was detained by police on suspicion of supplying Class A and Class B drugs

A Home Office drugs expert has been arrested on suspicion of supplying crack cocaine.

Nigel Voden, 48, a senior civil servant who works in the drug and alcohol unit at Theresa May’s Westminster headquarters, was detained in a planned police raid on Thursday.

 

 

“The Home Office expects the highest standards of personal integrity from all its staff.”

Police swooped on a suspected crack den in a block of flats where Mr Voden lives in Harrow, north-west London.

He has now been suspended, the Home Office confirmed.

A Scotland Yard spokeswoman said: “We went to an address in Harrow as part of an ongoing investigation.

“Four men aged 18, 25, 37 and 48 were arrested on suspicion of possession of Class A and Class B drugs with intent to supply.

“All four were later bailed to come back to us in December.”

Mr Voden, a former immigration officer, was chairman of the Home Office’s group for gay, bisexual and transgender staff.

Recently he had been co-ordinating a project on potential reform of the “late night levy” which was introduced in 2011 and allows local authorities to charge pubs, clubs and bars which want to stay open late.

A Home Office spokeswoman said: “We can confirm a member of staff has been suspended.

“It would not be appropriate to comment further as it is now a matter for the police.

“The Home Office expects the highest standards of personal integrity from all its staff.”
