answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/05/2019 answer text <p>The World Health Organization Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC) is delivering the FCTC 2030 project, including supporting fifteen low and middle-income countries to accelerate the implementation of the WHO FCTC. Implementation of the Protocol to Eliminate Illicit Trade in Tobacco Products, including tobacco track and trace systems, is not a specific area of focus for the FCTC 2030 project. However, several FCTC 2030 countries have joined the Protocol. The Secretariat of the WHO FCTC is encouraging all countries that are Parties to the WHO FCTC to also join the Protocol.</p> answering member constituency South Ribble answering member printed Seema Kennedy question first answered 08/05/2019 13:56:24 answering member 4455 label Biography information for Seema Kennedy

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/02/2018 answer text <p>The United Kingdom ratified the World Health Organization Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC) on the 16 December 2004. The WHO FCTC adopted the Protocol to Eliminate Illicit Trade in Tobacco Products on 12 November 2012. The Government is fully committed to the Protocol. It is current UK Government policy that international treaties will not be ratified until all the legislation required for implementation has been passed by Parliament. A Command Paper setting out the UK’s plans to ratify the World Health Organization Protocol to Eliminate Illicit Trade in Tobacco Products now needs to be laid before Parliament. Preparations, led by HM Revenue and Customs, are underway and they expect to proceed shortly.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 23/02/2018 12:17:57 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
