The Commons voted in favour of Rishi Sunak’s Tobacco and Vapes Bill in its first parliamentary test – but the PM faced opposition from his own ministers
The proposed law, which will make it illegal to sell tobacco products to anyone born after January 1 2009, passed its second reading by 383 to 67, a majority of 316.
Several senior Tory figures, including those considered rivals for the future leadership of the party, objected to the proposed legislation. “Among other reasons it will create difficulties with enforcement. This burden will fall not on the state but on private businesses,” Ms Badenoch said. Government ministers Steve Baker, Alex Burghart, Andrew Griffith and Julia Lopez also voted against the plan.
Several other senior Tories, including former prime minister Liz Truss, said they would not back the Bill due to concerns about freedom of personal choice.
