Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they published the terms of reference and membership of the working group of experts set up to consider the recommendations from the House of Commons Science and Technology Select Committee’s report E-cigarettes, published on 17 August 2018, that impact the licensing of e-cigarettes as medicines; if so, when and where they were published; whether they will publish details of that working group’s first meeting; and if so when and where they will be published.

The terms of reference and membership of the Commission on Human Medicines (CHM) ad hoc working group of experts on e-cigarettes, set up to consider the recommendations from the House of Commons Science and Technology Select Committee’s E-cigarettes report, has not yet been published.

The first meeting of the working group is scheduled for 26 April 2019 and its terms of reference and membership will be published after the first meeting of the group on the CHM website.
