Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether any evidence reviews, research studies, behavioural analyses and international evaluations were disregarded while developing the proposals contained in the consultation entitled Tobacco and vapes: packaging, appearance and display.
Answered by Melanie Ward - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Scotland Office)
The people of Scotland deserve governments that are focused on delivering for them. This Government does not support independence or another referendum. We are focused on protecting and respecting devolution and delivering better outcomes, including through the offer of joint work on further decentralisation within Scotland that the Prime Minister made to the First Minister on 16 October.
The UK Government strongly believes in the need to uphold the reputation and impartiality of the civil service in Scotland. The Scottish Government’s Permanent Secretary, who is a UK home Civil Servant, is the Accountable Officer for the Scottish Government, and responsible for ensuring that the requirements of the Civil Service Code are met, including on the use of Civil Service time.
More widely, the Civil Service code also states that civil servants have an obligation to make sure public money and other resources are used properly and efficiently, and so any spending by the Scottish Government would need to be approached in that context.
