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.
