Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask His Majesty's Government what additional resources will be provided to local authorities to carry out their enforcement obligations under the Environmental Protection (Single-use Vapes) (England) Regulations 2024.

We will consider enforcement of single-use vapes alongside other types of illicit vapes. In the coming months we will be working closely with the Department for Health & Social Care and relevant enforcement bodies to understand how we can support those enforcing the ban.
