I turn to Amendments 18 and 19, which relate to the display of tobacco products within specialist tobacconist premises. Parliament has previously determined that, subject to strict conditions, adult-only specialist tobacconist premises may display tobacco products in a controlled manner. Such displays must not be visible from outside, and access is restricted. The exemption has operated for many years without any evidence of it contributing to youth uptake. These two amendments simply ensure that the regulation-making powers in the Bill cannot inadvertently override that long-standing position. Again, this is a preservation measure, not an expansionary one.
