Questions that need answers (today!)

Today is the closing date for a consultation on smoking outside hospital buildings in Scotland.

A law making it an offence to smoke within no smoking areas on hospital grounds is already in place in Scotland so this merely concerns the regulations.

Nevertheless I do hope you will make your views known. As one Forest supporter commented last night:

I noted some 'trick questions' that required you to agree with the basic proposal before replying. I complained about this in my response.

Let's see if it does any good. Frankly, I doubt it. The Scottish regime in Edinburgh is appalling. But thanks to Forest for drawing this latest Scottish example of nanny state, inhumanity and over-reach to our attention.

PS. Moments after we sent out an ‘Action Alert’ email to subscribers yesterday a notice went up on the consultation website saying it was ‘closed for maintenance’.

I’m pleased to say it’s now up and running again.
