Original consultation
Consultation description
This consultation is about the following regulations:
- The Tobacco and Related Products Regulations 2016 (TRPR)
- The Standardised Packaging of Tobacco Products Regulations 2015 (SPoT)
We’re asking for feedback on the effectiveness of the legislation in achieving its objectives along with any unintended consequences that may have occurred.
TRPR and SPoT require the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care to complete a review of the legislation within 5 years of the regulations coming into force. This is known as a post implementation review (PIR).
We expect a wide range of industry, charities, academic researchers and members of the public to respond to this consultation.
