Speaking in the House of Lords on 13 November 2025

Debate

Tobacco and Vapes Bill

Contribution

The same applies to the useful probing amendment from the noble Earl, Lord Russell, which is very much in the analytical spirit of his noble grandfather. We must never overlook the importance of clarity, proportionality and balance in how the Bill is implemented. Although I support measures that provide certainty and coherence for businesses and enforcement bodies, I remain cautious about any extension of ministerial powers that could add complexity or cost to an already highly regulated sector.
