Tobacco and Vapes BillContribution
In theory, Acts of Parliament should in every case be subject to review after a suitable interval following enactment, but we know that that does not always happen. Given that this Bill and the regulations it contains break new ground in the field of tobacco and vape controls, we owe it to ourselves in Parliament, as well as to the country at large, to demonstrate what its effects have been—both positive and negative. Amendments 195 and 196 from the Liberal Democrat Benches are very much in the same spirit. I agree with the noble Baroness, Lady Walmsley, that there could be merit in trying to dovetail the provisions of these three amendments before we come to Report.
