Speaking in the House of Lords on 30 October 2025
Debate
Tobacco and Vapes BillContribution
Returning to the issue of protecting young people, our commitment is to act swiftly and responsibly, which is why we have already launched the comprehensive call for evidence to better understand the available evidence. It would be extremely problematic if we were categoric at this stage and then found, in a very changing landscape, new potential harms that we would not be able to deal with in the appropriate way. For the reasons I have outlined, I hope that I have reassured noble Lords that we are taking this exceptionally seriously and that the noble Lord will feel able to withdraw his amendment.
