Meet the new nanny, same as the old nanny

The Tobacco and Vapes Public Bill Committee sat again on Tuesday.

That makes 14 sittings so far, with more scheduled for today, including what should be the final one before the Bill moves on to the report stage and then the third reading in the House of Commons.

Well done if you've made it this far and read all the transcripts in Hansard. I have but I wouldn't wish it on anyone else!

I'll return to the subject of the Committee later. In the meantime we have updated our Say NO to Nanny! leaflet.

The original six-page leaflet was sent to MPs ahead of the second reading of the first Tobacco and Vapes Bill in April last year.

Instead of Rishi Sunak, the new eight page leaflet features an illustration of Keir Starmer. To read or download a copy, click on the image (top right).

It also includes the result of a recent poll in which Yonder Consulting asked over 2,000 adults in Great Britain to rate ten domestic issues according to how important or not important they are.

Fewer than a third (29%) think it's very important that government tackles smoking, compared to tackling problems with the health service (83%), energy costs (74%), inflation (72%), crime (72%), and care for the elderly (72%). Full list below.
