Mr Smith reads that Liberal Democrat MSP Mike Pringle is to attempt to, yet again, introduce a charge of 10 pence on every plastic bag handed over in Scotland's shops.
Now Mr Smith doesn't necessarily object to the concept or even principle of what Mr Pringle is proposing, but what he does object to is the fact that Mr Pringle tried to do exactly the same thing over most of the last four years of the last Scottish Parliament and got ... er ... absolutely nowhere as regards legislative support.
So Mr Smith asks why he is proposing to waste even more time in the Scottish Parliament on an idea he couldn't get through last time, before the voluntary agreement arrived at last time around has even had a chance of being assessed?
