=== UK Tobacco & Vapes Bill Ditched (for now!) === | |||
Due to the Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announcing a general election on July 4th it means some of the proposed legislation has had to be pushed aside. | |||
The parliament as it stands will be dissolved as of 24th May 2024. Any bills which could not be completed before this are therefore cast aside. | |||
It appears the Tobacco and Vapes bill is one that will not be put through the full process in time and will have to be discarded. | |||
