Description[?]:
| For a period in the last Parliament our whips did not fulfill their job correctly, and as such some legislation was voted upon without any Conservative MP's being present. A Bill on Tobacco legislation passed, one which had we been present would have been defeated, thus we are forced to attempt to overturn this new legislation and restore the old law. |

| Message | We realise it is not exactly the same as the old law, but we do not see the need for restrictions, other than that concerning who can purchase the product. |

| Message | Even though there should be regulations on the sale of tobacco, this proposal is certainly better than the current law. |
