Additionally, people who wish to use these products would still be able to do so in outdoor hospitality settings, as I have explained. That would include the outdoor smoking areas of an over-18 nightclub. We have been very clear that we will not consult on including those outdoor areas in scope of heated tobacco-free places. Ultimately, the Bill grants powers to make places heated tobacco-free but does not itself make any place heated tobacco-free. The consultation will ask questions relating to areas that should become heated tobacco-free, any necessary exemptions and additional evidence on the second-hand harms of these products. Therefore, there is no change required to the primary legislation. I hope the noble Lord feels able to withdraw his amendment.
