Re: Tobacco Smuggling Inquiry; Written Submission
Dear Sir:
1. On 23 July 2013, you said, “Tobacco smuggling is a significant threat to UK tax revenues and to public health.”
2. On 16 August 2013, the Associated Press reported on the federal sentencing in the State of Virginia of the last of ten defendants in a $20 million cigarette trafficking ring.
3. I note the above recent news items because they demonstrate that the illegal trafficking in tobacco products is a blight that harms public health in both of our countries
