The honest answer Barrie is that I don't know, it's not my committee. However, since that committee has no budget it seems unlikely that they would have commissioned a survey, particularly in view of the recent lobbying by external parties. It's a nationwide issue in any case, at the moment government is looking to implement plain packaging on cigarette packets so it could be part of that. I haven't been part of it directly so I'm really not the best person to ask.
Like I say, try Freedom of Information for a spin-free answer:
