Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, which non-compliant vape products were seized most frequently in the most recent period for which data is available; and what recent discussions the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency has had with manufacturers of those products to help ensure that they are no longer supplied to the UK market.

The Department does not collect information centrally on non-compliant vape products seized. Local enforcement agencies are responsible for taking action against non-compliant vape products that are placed on the UK market.

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency work with manufacturers of vape products at the pre-market stage of notification. If necessary, they request corrective actions to bring each submission into compliance with notification requirements set out in the Tobacco and Related Products Regulations 2016.
