Speaking in the House of Lords on 24 February 2026

Debate

Tobacco and Vapes Bill

Contribution

I turn to Amendment 203, tabled by the noble Baroness, Lady Northover. We are committed to ensuring the successful implementation of the Bill. I reassure the noble Baroness and the noble Lord, Lord Naseby, that we will take forward a communications plan; therefore, we do not need this requirement within legislation. We are working to ensure that everyone is aware of the provisions of this landmark legislation, what it means for them and the associated commencement dates. That includes working closely with the retail sector. The noble Baroness asked whether we are working closely with enforcement agencies as well as with retailers to publish clear guidance on this legislation.
