Biography
Lord Darzi of Denham has engaged on health inequalities through a debate speech on the Tobacco and Vapes Bill, arguing that bold preventive action on tobacco addiction is essential to reducing preventable death and health inequality. He expressed strong support for the Government's smoke-free generation ambition, though opposed specific amendments that would have limited regulatory powers over flavour descriptors on packaging.
