Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether the UK delegation to the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control Ninth Conference of the Parties plans to request the formation of an intersessional Working Group to hear evidence on the use of vaping devices as harm reduction tools.

We have no plans to do so. However, we will set out our pragmatic and evidence-based approach to e-cigarettes.
