Labour backed disposable vape ban for two years – Starmer

Opposition leader Sir Keir Starmer has asked why the government has been slow to act on banning disposable vapes.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced that they were set to be banned to curb the rising number of young people taking up vaping.

Sir Keir said he backed the move, and his party would vote for it, while Mr Sunak was giving his MPs a free vote.
