Speaking in the House of Lords on 27 October 2025

Debate

Tobacco and Vapes Bill

Contribution

Some of us have worked on this for over 20 years and, as we sought to improve things, I heard numerous times that the last lot of things we did—for example, banning smoking in public places—was fine, but this was a step too far. Needless to say, when we tried to ban smoking in public places, that was unacceptable. As we have here, they would often offer “This, but not that”.
