This week the company that moved enough sand and tunnel spoil to fill 10 Wembley stadiums will get an award for its efforts on behalf of a rare orchid and an iridescent blue butterfly. Legislation is designed for a particular time and set of problems. Periodic review is essential."The 12-member committee is expected to look at the original aims of the Act and to decide whether to propose any revisions to the law.Its chairman, Viscountess Runciman, who also heads the Mental Health Commission, said the purpose was not to pave the way for the gradual decriminalisation of drugs. "The inquiry is not a lobbying exercise on behalf of any of the positions on this subject," she said."It is certainly not a covert attempt to smooth the path to legislation. Neither is it a device designed to bolster a law that may be perceived as failing to best serve those it is meant to assist."She added: "Clearly there are a range of views on the misuse of drugs and we intend to consult widely with those who have experience in the area."Viscountess Runciman said that one task would be to examine what decriminalisation and legalisation of drugs would mean.. The Police Foundation study will be carried out by a committee that will include Simon Jenkins, former editor of the Times, and leading lawyers, academics and police officers expert in drugs law. They are expected to focus on whether the law needs to be changed in the light of a growing drugs culture and the Government's commitment to tackle drug-related crime.

Members will take written and oral opinions from experts.Other charities, including the Prince's Trust, will fund the two-year inquiry.Barrie Irving, director of the Foundation, said: "Youth culture and the drugs issue have moved on since 1971."We realise that this is a sensitive field but independent and objective review is long overdue. A "long overdue" inquiry into the effectiveness of the 1971 Misuse of Drugs Act was announced yesterday by an independent research charity. Fish is full of protein but once dipped in batter and deep-fried it will be calorie-laden.. How healthy are they? Critics may have culinary objections but pizza is not necessarily a bad addition to the family diet.

Too much cheese will pile on calories and cholesterol but a topping of vegetables, prawns or tuna is a healthy option. Pizza bases contain carbohydrate, but a thin crust would be acceptable; deep-pan bases contain more fat. Annie Bell, The Independent's food critic, said: "They're nutritionally pretty good." Pizzas fare well compared to kebabs and fish and chips, which are high in fat, salt and sugar content. A proper Italian pizza has a crust of flour and yeast, with no fat. The dough should be hand kneaded or by mixers that do not overheat it, and punched, into a disc no larger than a dinner plate The base is baked on the base of a wood-fired oven The mozzarella should be worked by hand Cutting it with a knife may leave a metallic taste.

Though using bread as a plate has been common for centuries, it seems it was Neapolitans who topped a disc of bread with cheese and tomato and created the pizza as we know it. They were assisted by abundant large, sweet, red tomatoes grown from seeds brought from Peru by two Jesuits. Though pineapples are now a favourite ingredient, purists say the toppings of an authentic pizza stem only from what is available fresh in Italy, such as mozzarella, anchovies and tuna. I like them because they're well made and I'm sure their pizza is probably quite delicious, too. But it doesn't bear any relationship to the one you eat in a cafe in Naples." Created by the Neapolitans and better for you than fish and chips How are they made? Americans like to claim pizza for their own but it is most often associated with Italy.
