Speaking in the House of Lords on 13 November 2025

Debate

Tobacco and Vapes Bill

Contribution

That comes down to our knowing that there is scope for the industry itself to participate flexibly and effectively in creating the regulatory framework for how the industry operates. I freely admit that my amendment is not perfect, but the point is not necessarily to restrict the Government’s regulatory power but to be clear that Ministers can decide in certain circumstances not to regulate or to limit the operation of their own regulatory powers, because the industry is capable of self-regulation.
