Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will publish his timeframe for the policy development and publishing of the Tobacco Control Plan.

A new Tobacco Control plan is due to be published later this year and will set out further ambitions to deliver a smoke free country by 2030. Policies for the new plan are currently under development. We will consider all proposals from the 2019 Green Paper, including those on e-cigarettes and addressing smoking in particular vulnerable groups.
