Proceeding contribution from Lord McLoughlin (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 29 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health Bill.


Health Bill

I do not know whether the Secretary of State managed to hear Mr. Tony Benn—a former Member of Parliament for Chesterfield, whom I am sure she knows well—on the radio on Saturday morning. He said that he found it rather odd that, at this stage of their life, the Government were allowing 24-hour drinking, with all the damage that alcohol can do to people, yet they somehow believe that smoking should be banned.
