Speaking in the House of Lords on 30 October 2025
Debate
Tobacco and Vapes BillContribution
“If the legislation goes ahead as it is currently written, it would be the equivalent of passing legislation to ban sales of vintage red wine in order to curb youth binge drinking ... Our business alone employs 30 people and there are 35 other specialist tobacconists just in London. All of those people’s jobs would be at risk over time if the legislation remains in its current form”.
