The Department published draft regulations for standardised packaging of tobacco products on 26 June. I refer the hon. Member to the Written Ministerial Statement given on 26 June 2014, Official Report, column 29-30WS.

Regulations for making it an offence to smoke in private vehicles carrying children are being drafted at present.
