BBC Radio Scotland - Morning Call, 11/02/2014

Louise White asks listeners what helped them deal with the death of a loved one.

TOPIC 1: SMOKING IN CARS
The UK government will make it a criminal offence to smoke in cars in England when children are passengers, a Downing Street source has said. MPs voted in favour of an amendment to the Children and Families Bill, which empowers, but does not compel, ministers to bring in a ban in England. The source told the BBC Parliament had spoken and a ban would happen. The vote - passed by 376 votes to 107 - also gave the Welsh government the power to bring in a ban in Wales.

Louise asks: Would you welcome a smoking ban in cars in Scotland?

TOPIC 2: BEREAVEMENT
A father's plea to watch a video based on his dead son's Facebook page has provoked the network to look again at how families can remember loved ones. Facebook recently launched a Look Back feature that creates a video generated by popular moments on a person's profile. John Berlin posted a YouTube clip asking to see a Look Back video for his son Jesse, who died in 2012 aged 22. After the plea gained support, Facebook told Mr Berlin a video would be made. Mr Berlin said "These videos really touched me. And every time Jesse would pop up (in one of them), I was choking back tears. I just wanted so desperately to see how his video would turn out. I'm glad that we're finding purpose in Jesse's death, I can't express how much this means to me."

Louise asks: What helped you to deal with the death of a loved one? 

EXTRA QUESTION:
Mary Berry will be chatting to Fred during MacAulay and Co and in honour of the great lady we're asking what's your signature dish? what food do you love to make?
