The UK Tobacco and Vapes Bill has been debated in the House of Lords (upper house of Parliament) and is now just a few steps away from becoming law.
The bill will proceed to the committee review stage in the House of Lords and then undergo a third and final reading before the entire Parliament, when the final wording, including those of any amendments made, will be set to a vote. It would then return to the House of Commons (lower house) if amendments were made before an agreed version is sent for royal approval to then become an official UK law.
