answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/05/2016 answer text <p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p><p>My Rt hon Friend the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills has not made an assessment of the impacts of introducing a tobacco licensing regime or an estimate of annual cost. Under the Government’s Better Regulation framework, where regulatory measures that impact on business are being considered, it is the responsibility of the Secretary of State of the Department introducing the measure to ensure that an assessment is undertaken. This allows decisions to be taken with a clear understanding of the likely impacts of any measure. As announced in the 2015 Autumn Statement, HM Revenue and Customs are currently consulting on whether to introduce a tobacco licensing regime and responses to this consultation should inform any assessment, including the potential effect on small retailers and convenience stores.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Broxtowe answering member printed Anna Soubry grouped question UIN 36417 question first answered 10/05/2016 10:58:51 answering member 3938 label Biography information for Anna Soubry
