Norman Lamb, the MP for North Norfolk says "safe rooms" should be set up where people can take drugs under supervision.

The former health minister told the Commons it would allow addicts to be weaned off substances with medical help.

Mr Lamb said the government's drugs policy was failing and action was needed to save lives.

"I want to focus on the number of people who've died through drug misuse," he said.

"We heard earlier that a third of European deaths are in the UK. Ten families are bereaved every single day in the UK as a result of drug use."

Two people are due in court in connection with the death of a seven-year-old girl at a fun fair.

Summer Grant, from Norwich, died in March 2016 after strong winds blew away a bouncy castle on which she was playing at a fairground in Harlow town park, Essex.

She suffered serious injuries and was taken to Princess Alexandra Hospital, but died a few hours later.

Shelby and William Thurston, both fairground employees, aged 25 and 28 from Wilburton in Cambridgeshire, are charged with manslaughter by gross negligence.

An inquest jury into the deaths of two men in an industrial explosion has this afternoon heard from an explosives expert with the Health & Safety Executive.

Daniel Timbers, 28, and 56-year-old Barry Joy died in a fire following an explosion at digger bucket maker Harford Attachments in Norwich, in July 2015.

Brian Mills told Norfolk Coroners' Court that ventilation in the paint spray booth was switched off before the explosion, potentially leading to a build-up of flammable fumes.

He believed the two most likely causes of the blast were the welding outside the paint spray booth or the poor installation of the spray equipment.

But there were a number of other possible sources of ignition that should have been within the control of the company.

A walkie-talkie was found near Mr Joy in a switched-on condition, and a mobile phone was found near Mr Timbers, who had a cigarette lighter in his back pocket.

The inquest continues.

Last September, Norfolk's Trading Standards and Public Health teams had a crackdown on traders who sell illegal cigarettes and tobacco.

Since then, more than 180,000 illegal cigarettes and 50kg of hand rolling tobacco have been seized. In Norwich alone, nearly 45,000 illegal cigarettes have been seized since April.

The crackdown continues, and next week the teams will be heading out on a week of roadshows across the county for people to find out more about the dangers of illegal tobacco.

Louise Smith, Director of Public Health in Norfolk, says the illegal trade undermines efforts to reduce smoking as it's available at cheaper prices, and from unregulated sources.

Yellow warnings are in place for thundery downpours later... before that our farmers have been making the most of the fine weather.

An inquest jury has been shown CCTV footage of the explosion which led to the death of two spray painters.

Barry Joy and Daniel Timbers died at Harford Attachments in Norwich in July 2015. Today Norfolk Coroners' Court has heard evidence from the Health and Safety Executive.

The families of Mr Joy and Mr Timbers left the court while the jury were shown the CCTV footage inside the factory of the two men going about their work, followed by the bright flash of the explosion and the smoke which quickly filled the factory afterwards.

Previously the court had heard that the two men were so badly injured that they had to be identified by their dental records.

This afternoon the court is expected to hear from an expert as to what could have caused the blast.

The inquest continues.
