Written Question
Developing Countries: Tobacco
Friday 16th September 2016

Asked by: Baroness Northover (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what action they are taking to share the UK's experience in implementing tobacco control policies with low- and middle-income countries.

Answered by Lord Prior of Brampton

The United Kingdom regularly supports other countries to develop tobacco control policies, sharing our expertise and experience. Most recently, the UK has provided support to other countries looking to implement standardised packaging.

In addition, the UK Government is funding a project to strengthen the implementation of the World Health Organization’s Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, using official development assistance funds. Through this project, we will share the UK’s experience in tobacco control, thereby supporting low- and middle-income countries to save lives by putting effective measures in place to stop people using tobacco.
