Amendment 18 is a different matter. I trust it is a probing amendment, and I look forward to hearing how the Government plan to deal with the issue that it raises. There are currently a number of mental health trusts using vending machines to provide vapes as part of their smoking cessation services. Without an exemption to the vending machine ban for this purpose, the Government need to bring forward clear guidance that can deal fairly with this situation, since mental health trust premises will not be licensed premises under the regime currently being proposed. I look forward to the Minister’s response to that amendment as well.
