Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask His Majesty's Government when they will publish a roadmap to a smoke-free Britain, as set out in the 10 Year Health Plan for England.
The 10-Year Health Plan for England sets out our ambition for a smoke-free United Kingdom and to protect future generations from the harms of tobacco and nicotine addiction. The Tobacco and Vapes Bill is currently in committee stage in the House of Lords.
There are no plans to develop a roadmap at this time, but we will keep this under review. Our attention and focus must be on delivering this legislation and on designing the regulations that follow.
