Business chiefs were today hailing a 'clear victory' following claims Sir Keir Starmer is dropping a proposed ban on smoking in pub gardens.
It followed suggestions earlier this year that Labour was looking to stop Brits from lighting up in beer gardens, outdoor restaurants and small parks. Industry bodies hailed reports that Downing Street is stepping in to block a ban on smoking outdoors being included in the Government's Tobacco and Vapes Bill
'It signals the start of a renewed understanding from ministers of the potential impact the smoking ban could have had on our sector. 'You only have to look back to the significant pub closures we saw after the indoor smoking ban to see the potential impact it could have. The British Beer and Pub Association said a proposed outdoor smoking ban was 'deeply concerning and difficult to understand' and 'yet another blow to the viability of our nation's vital community assets'.
