answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/04/2016 answer text <p>The Government has no current plans to postpone the introduction of standardised packaging of tobacco products. The Standardised Packaging of Tobacco Products Regulations 2015 come into force on 20 May 2016. Standardised packaging is an important public health measure and any delay in implementing the policy would also delay the health benefits from accruing. The Government continues to consider relevant information and evidence on standardised packaging, including the Post-Implementation Review of Tobacco Plain Packaging published by the Australian Government last month.</p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 11/04/2016 08:52:56 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison
