Speaking in the House of Lords on 24 February 2026

Debate

Tobacco and Vapes Bill

Contribution

The noble Lord, Lord Johnson, raised the important point about online sales, as he has done previously with me. I reassure him once again that the majority of the measures in the Bill actually apply to products sold online. We are also taking powers to introduce a retail licensing scheme. Our call for evidence, which closed in December, asked about how retail licensing should extend online, so I hope the noble Lord will find that helpful.
