Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, whether his Department plans to require tobacco manufacturers to publish sales data at a local level; and if he will make a statement.

We are working on developing a new tobacco control plan, which we will be publishing shortly. The plan will focus on supporting priority groups such as pregnant women and young people.

The Tobacco and Related Products Regulations require tobacco producers (manufacturers and importers) to supply sales data annually for the whole of the United Kingdom alongside a range of other information when products are notified. Public Health England will make public all data that is not commercially sensitive.
