Speaking in the House of Lords on 30 October 2025

Debate

Tobacco and Vapes Bill

Contribution

My amendment would give parliamentary oversight; it would be passed by a statutory instrument under the affirmative resolution. I want to make a point about hypothecation, which is important. My amendment would earmark these funds specifically for cessation and health services, which would restore trust and instil confidence. The BMJ, for example, has indicated that every £1 invested in “stop smoking” services saves £2.27 in healthcare and productivity costs.
