I move:

That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to amend the Public Health (Tobacco) Act 2002 to regulate the retail packaging and appearance of tobacco products in order to improve public health and to discourage the use of tobacco products and for related purposes.

Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.
