To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what assessment he has made of the implications for his Department's policies of the Report, Nicotine without smoke: tobacco harm reduction, published by the Royal College of Physicians in April 2016.
- Answer
-
The Department has and will continue to keep abreast of all evidence and consider it in developing policy.
