Oral Answers to Questions
"I am sure that the Minister is aware that October is breast cancer awareness month. I welcome the ambition that the Prime Minister set out at the party conference for 75% early-stage diagnosis. There is some concern that, as breast cancer is already above that, there is no ambition left …..."Craig Tracey - View Speech

Written Question
Monday 26th February 2018
Asked by:
Craig Tracey (Conservative - North Warwickshire)
Question
to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will implement the recommendations on regulatory levers for heated tobacco products set out in the Public Health England report on e-cigarettes and heated tobacco products, published on 6 February 2018.
Answered by Steve Brine
The basis of the regulatory regime in the United Kingdom in relation of tobacco products and e-cigarettes is the Tobacco Products Directive (2014/40/EU). This includes relevant provisions on heat not burn. The UK will consider any future opportunities to amend the regulatory regime once the outcome of Brexit negotiations is clear. Until exit negotiations are concluded, the UK remains a full member of the European Union and all the rights and obligations of EU membership remain in force.

Question
to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to support more independent research on heated tobacco products as recommended in the Public Health England report on e-cigarettes and heated tobacco products, published on 6 February 2018.
Answered by Steve Brine
The Department’s National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) welcomes funding applications for research into any aspect of human health; it is not usual practice to ring-fence funds for particular topics or conditions. Applications are subject to peer review and judged in open competition, with awards being made on the basis of the importance of the topic to patients and health and care services, value for money and scientific quality. Information on individual projects funded by the NIHR can be found at:
https://www.journalslibrary.nihr.ac.uk/programmes/
The Department will continue to work with Public Health England (PHE) to monitor the evidence base around heat not burn products. In the Tobacco Control Plan, published in July 2017, PHE committed to update their evidence report on e-cigarettes and other novel nicotine delivery systems annually until the end of the Parliament in 2022.
