I cannot understand what my noble friend means by "under review". Surely, if proposed new subsection (2A) were inserted into the law, a person would know they were committing an offence if they walked into a shop and attempted to buy tobacco on behalf of an individual under the age of 18. Irrespective of whether they were prosecuted, they would know that they were committing an offence. Surely that would affect their conduct in deciding on whether they were going to enter the shop and buy the cigarettes for the person under 18. So I cannot see what has to be kept under review there.
