Tobacco and Vapes Bill

Proceeding contribution from Victoria Atkins (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 16 April 2024. It occurred during Debate on bills on Tobacco and Vapes Bill.

My hon. Friend gives me the ideal opportunity to talk about my favourite criminal offence: cheating the public revenue, which is a criminal offence with very settled law. It has a maximum sentence of life imprisonment, and I have deployed it myself against the organised crime gangs to which I referred at the beginning of my speech. A sensible prosecutor will always look at that criminal offence, because it is settled law and good law, and it has a maximum sentence of life imprisonment for those who indulge in it.
