star this property answer text <p>The Department has been clear that for smokers, quitting smoking completely is the best way to improve health. E-cigarettes are not risk free. However evidence continues to suggest that e-cigarettes are significantly less harmful to health than cigarettes and can aid in helping smokers to quit.</p><p> </p><p>Given that e-cigarettes are a relatively new product, there is no long term data available regarding the impact on mortality rates of smokers who opt to move to vaping as an alternative.</p><p> </p><p>The Department will continue to work with Public Health England (PHE) to monitor the evidence base around e-cigarettes. 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.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>The Government is committed to ensuring that the UK is the best place to start and grow a fintech business. The new Fintech Sector Strategy – launched by the Chancellor at the recent HM Treasury-organised International Fintech Conference – sets out the practical steps that have been, and will be, taken to support this commitment. For instance, the Strategy includes pilot schemes to help new fintech firms (and the financial services industry more widely) comply with regulations by building software which would automatically ensure they follow the rules, saving them time and money, and the creation of a set of industry standards which will enable fintech firms to more easily partner with existing banks.</p><p> </p><p>The Strategy is available at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/692874/Fintech_Sector_Strategy_print.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/692874/Fintech_Sector_Strategy_print.pdf</a></p>

star this property answer text <p>The Government has committed to bringing digital currencies into the scope of anti-money laundering regulation. The Government anticipates that the Fifth Anti-Money Laundering Directive will enter into force at EU-level in summer of this year, with a transposition deadline of late 2019. This will be during the Implementation Period, and so the UK will transpose this Directive. These amendments bring virtual currency exchanges and custodian wallet providers into the scope of obliged entities. We will consult on any steps the government proposes to take to regulate digital currencies under UK law.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has also recently announced the establishment of the Cryptoassets Taskforce, consisting of HM Treasury, the Bank of England and the Financial Conduct Authority. As part of its work, the Taskforce will consider the risks of cryptoassets and the future responses of the appropriate authorities, including around anti-money laundering regulation.</p><p> </p> more like this
