Labour's questions on whether David Cameron's elections adviser tried to influence policy on tobacco packaging amount to a "smear", the chairman of the Conservative Party has said.

Two shadow ministers have written to ask whether Lynton Crosby was involved in the decision to delay plans to bring in plain cigarette packets in England.

The Times says his company is used by tobacco giant Philip Morris.

But Tory chairman Grant Shapps said Mr Crosby had no role in setting policy.
