Lord Moylan (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 24 February 2026

Debate

Tobacco and Vapes Bill

Contribution

My Lords, I will speak briefly to Amendments 3 and 12, which would have the effect that the regulations to be issued in relation to age verification should be made under the affirmative process, rather than the negative process as originally envisaged. When I tabled these amendments in Committee, the Minister showed what I thought was a hint of favour towards them, so I had the temerity to retable them on Report and lo, what do I find, but that the Minister has added her name to them. With that, I think they require no further argument. They were recommended by the Delegated Powers and Regulatory Reform Committee. I beg to move Amendment 3 and will move Amendment 12 at the appropriate moment.
