First, it provides an independent complaints panel, so people can go to it, complain and secure redress, and they can have effective action taken rapidly in relation to that. It is statutorily recognised under the Licensing Act. I put to the Minister that, therefore, it would be valuable for such a body to be established in relation to vaping products and the vaping industry, with a reference in statute to its existence—not defining what it does, since it is not a statutory body and it operates independently from statute, but giving what is clearly government backing to its ability to act where the Government leaves the space for it to act.
