Debate
Tobacco and Vapes BillContribution
How would this fit, as raised so admirably by my noble friend, with the better regulation guidelines that I had the privilege of establishing and that this Government have adopted? I never realised that better regulation could turn to my advantage as effectively as it should today. As Investment Minister, I was reminded daily that London is powerful because of our cigar industry. This is true. Investment Ministers from around the world came to London and their first ports of call were the cigar stalls of St James’s. Their second port of call was to invest in this economy.
