0:00.0 | We now come to Prime Minister's questions. I know Colchastin Oswald. |
0:05.0 | Question 1, please. |
0:07.0 | Mr Speaker, I know that the thoughts of the whole House are with the people of Haynalt in East London |
0:13.0 | following yesterday's appalling attacks. Such violence has no place on our streets. |
0:18.0 | It's absolutely heartbreaking that a teenage boy has died and I can't |
0:22.9 | imagine what his family are going through and we send them our heartfelt condolences and offer |

1:23.9 | football strips to be sponsored by vaping companies sends entirely the wrong message to young people, |
1:29.6 | and that it's now time to ban vape companies advertising on sports trips. |
1:34.3 | Mr Speaker, can I thank the Honourable Lady for her question. |
1:40.2 | Obviously, the decisions about kit sponsorship will rest with individual teams. But I do agree with her that it is important we do everything we can to tackle the scourge of teenage vaping, |
1:53.0 | which is why I'm glad that she supports our bill, which will clamp down on the marketing, |
