Baroness Merron (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 February 2026

Debate

Under-16s Energy Drinks Ban

Contribution

As we discussed on the Tobacco and Vapes Bill in this Chamber, the whole issue of age verification is crucial. I feel that businesses are used to seeking age verification. What matters is that they feel empowered to ask for it and that staff are trained. That is why we are indeed working with businesses in the way the noble Lord says. Many of them responded to the consultation and we are very pleased to have their voice in that.
