Baroness Walmsley (LD)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 3 March 2026

Debate

Tobacco and Vapes Bill

Contribution

My Lords, I will speak to Amendments 66 and 68 in my name. These provide that the money collected by trading standards in small fines imposed by fixed penalty notices for offences other than those related to the licensing regulations should go towards smoking cessation services provided by the relevant local authority. The Liberal Democrats have been calling for this since the Bill was first introduced to Parliament.
