UK: Tobacco battle earns MP world health award

　　BRISTOL West MP Stephen Williams has been named an "outstanding contributor" to tobacco control by the World Health Organisation.

　　The Liberal Democrat attended an award ceremony in the House of Commons yesterday where he was congratulated by Public Health Minister Anna Soubry, who also backed his campaign for plain packaging for cigarettes.

　　Mr Williams was nominated for the award by pressure groups Action on Smoking and Health and Smokefree Southwest in recognition of his advocacy for tobacco control since his election to Parliament in 2005, which includes playing a leading role in the campaign to persuade the Coalition government to introduce plain packaging of tobacco products.

　　Mr Williams said he was "absolutely delighted" to be recognised.
