Laughing gas will be categorised as a class C drug and made illegal by the end of the year, the UK government has announced.

Those found in unlawful possession of the drug could face up to two years in prison or an unlimited fine, with up to 14 years for supply or production.

The government's decision to make possession a crime goes against recommendations from the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs, which advised against new laws to ban nitrous oxide.

Last week health experts also warned the government against a ban, saying it could stop users seeking medical help.
