I would be extremely keen to make sure that there was an understanding of tolerance of legal retailers trying to follow the law, and I would be keen to see the money that is raised go into trading standards enforcement—not to become a busybody clipboard checklist process, where legal retailers have even more demands placed on them, but to close down the illegal market. It is deeply unfair that, because of bad legislation —possibly with good intentions—we have driven a gigantic growth in illegal sales of tobacco products.
