		+	===Emails on cigarettes===
		+	In October 2014, it was revealed [[Mark Fullbrook]], co-founder of [[CTF Partners]] asked Atkins to track down comments made by the government on Ireland's plans to introduce plain packaging for cigarettes. Fullbrook's email said, “Lovely to see you and Dulcie [Atkins’s wife] last night.” He goes on to explain that it is “in the public domain” that the government has issued the comments and asks: “Can you help identify which Dept issued these comments and what these comments are? On this one time is critical.” Atkins in turn asked [[Philip Bradbourn]], a Tory MEP, “Is there anything you can do to elicit the information that he requires from the relevant Commissioner’s office? I gather that this is a bit urgent!”. A spokesperson for [[CTF Partners]] claims that once Fullbrook was told the comments were not in the public domain, the matter went no further.<ref> Jamie Doward [http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2014/oct/11/david-cameron-tobacco-lobbying-lynton-crosby-cigarette-packaging David Cameron’s election guru faces new attack over tobacco lobbying] ''The Guardian'', 11 October 2014, accessed 14 October 2014 </ref>
