Speaking in the House of Lords on 26 November 2025

Debate

Tobacco and Vapes Bill

Contribution

I also thank the Minister for addressing the issue of those in mental health settings, because the answer given previously was incomplete. I now understand that the Government are working on it and that that is an evolving situation. I should welcome any further reassurance that the Minister and the department could give on ideas that they are looking at, perhaps without any commitment. We are not trying to trip the Government up on this and say, “You said this”, or whatever. We genuinely want to know which ideas are narrowly defined and can help those in mental health settings that do not act as a loophole for others to access vapes, not as a smoking cessation tool but for someone who wants to vape otherwise. That would be important.
