The newly elected UK government is also set to review the tobacco display legislation. In Scotland, regulations on the detail of the legislation are still to be approved following a consultation that ended on 20 July. It is unlikely that the Scottish Government would willingly consider a review of this legislation, since only the handful of Scottish Conservative MSPs in the Parliament opposed it. However, Imperial Tobacco has challenged the competence of the Scottish Government to pass the legislation, and the result of this case is expected in the next few weeks.
The consultation responses on the latest consultation (display regulations) on the Scottish legislation have now been published.
