Monday 2nd December 2024 Written Corrections

The following extract is from Second Reading of the Tobacco and Vapes Bill on 26 November 2024.

[Andrew Gwynne]

…We will still encourage adult smokers to switch to vaping through Swap to Stop in England, and I am delighted that localities have asked for over half a million starter kits so far. On advertising regulations, of course the consultation will take place after Royal Assent, but I hope that I can assure the hon. Member for Harrow East that we will take away his point about ensuring that the NHS can still advertise Swap to Stop under those regulations.
