Speaking in the House of Lords on 13 November 2025

Debate

Tobacco and Vapes Bill

Contribution

There is also a failure to take on board evidence here. I appreciate that the powers are subject to consultation ahead of secondary legislation, given the way the Bill is worded, but I am anxious that delegated powers do not guarantee that consultation will be conducted with appropriate parties who understand and cognisant of the importance of flavours in offering adult smokers an alternative, more attractive and less harmful replacement, which is what I think is going on.
