Speaking in the House of Lords on 13 November 2025

Debate

Tobacco and Vapes Bill

Contribution

The noble Lord, Lord Moylan, asked why Ministers abide by the FCTC if it is not law. It sets the framework for effective tobacco control, there are 168 signatures to that treaty and the UK was one of the first to sign it. I would add that we have a proud history of tobacco control in this country, and we fund the FCTC 2030 to help low and middle-income countries to strengthen their own tobacco controls.
