Tobacco and Vapes BillContribution
I hope that the Minister will give us a positive view of the potential use of this age-gating technology, which is increasingly likely to be used and available internationally, and say that it is something that the Government are positively looking to use. I hope that, if they do not accept these amendments at this stage, the Government will give a commitment to enter discussions before Report, either to take the explicit powers that are required or to bring forward their own amendments on Report to amend Clause 90 to incorporate such features and make it absolutely clear that this technology can be incorporated into point-of-use age verification in due course.
