201A: Clause 167, page 120, line 13, leave out “(2) to (8).” and insert “(1A) to (8).

Member’s explanatory statement

This amendment seeks to prevent parts 1 to 3 of the Bill coming into force until the Secretary of State has considered and demonstrated that this would be fully compatible with the Windsor Framework and the Tobacco Products Directive.
