00:00 Yes, I support the banning of disposable vapes, not least because of the impact they have
00:06 on children. We've been calling for this for two years, so I do have a question for
00:10 the government, which is why has it taken two years to get to this stage? We've wasted
00:15 two years. I've also got concerns that apparently the Prime Minister is going to give his MPs
00:20 a free vote because he doesn't think that he's able to hold his own team together.
00:24 Luckily, the Labour Party will always act in the national interest. We will vote for
00:28 it and so this measure will go through. It will only go through because the Labour Party
00:33 is the grown-up in the room and is prepared to act in the national interest and vote for
00:38 this important measure.
