answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/04/2024 answer text <p>Earlier this year, Defra published a report outlining the environmental concerns of disposable vapes. These products are an inefficient use of resources, are frequently disposed of incorrectly, can be harmful when littered and are difficult and costly to recycle. That is why on 29 January the Government confirmed that we would introduce a ban on single-use vapes. Draft regulations for the ban were published on 11 March with a proposed coming into force date of 1 April 2025 pending parliamentary procedures.</p> answering member constituency Keighley answering member printed Robbie Moore question first answered 02/04/2024 13:44:59 answering member 4861 label Biography information for Robbie Moore
