It is for individual councils to determine whether they wish to sign up to such a voluntary, local government-led initiative.</p><p> </p><p>Notwithstanding, as stated in the Government’s 2011 <em>Tobacco Control Plan for England</em>, we recognise there may be legitimate operational reasons for local authorities to deal with the tobacco industry, such as action by trading standards to tackle the illicit tobacco trade (which is frequently linked to low-level and large-scale organised crime; costs taxpayers’ money through tax evasion; and makes it easier for children to smoke).</p><p> </p><p>Moreover, further to the Government’s recent evidence to the Communities and Local Government Select Committee inquiry on litter (21 October 2014, Reference LIT0093), we believe that councils and the wider public sector, as well as manufacturers and associated trade bodies, need to work together to tackle smoking-related litter – especially given the public smoking ban has increased smoking outside. Councils now have public health responsibilities, but this should not prevent joint working on litter and action to keep our streets clean.</p><p> </p><p>In both cases, we would recommend that all dealings are fully transparent.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Keighley answering member printed Kris Hopkins question first answered 16/12/2014 17:12:54 answering member 4043 label Biography information for Kris Hopkins
