answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/01/2021 answer text <p>The Government has introduced the Tobacco Products and Nicotine Inhaling Products (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020, ensuring that after the end of the transition period we continue to maintain our strong tobacco control legislation to address the harms from tobacco. Post-transition period, Great Britain will no longer have to comply with the European Union’s Tobacco Products Directive and there will be opportunity to consider future regulatory changes to address the harms from tobacco. Any changes will be based on robust evidence and in the interests of public health.</p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 11/01/2021 12:37:52 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill
