Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will take steps to establish a Smokefree 2030 Fund in Budget 2021, funded by the tobacco industry, to help the UK meet its smoking reduction targets; and if he will make a statement.

We are unable to comment on announcements for Budget 2021. However, the Government is committed to addressing the harms from tobacco and will set out its ambition for England to be smoke-free by 2030 in a new Tobacco Control Plan to be published this summer.
