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

Health Bill

Why does the hon. Gentleman believe that it has taken more than 50 years since the epic work of Sir Richard Doll, who sadly died this year, to do something about the problem? The Conservative party was in office for a large part of that time and did nothing about smoking, although the evidence for second-hand smoking and smoking among doctors existed since the work of Richard Doll. Has that failure anything to do with the dirty tricks campaign of the tobacco industry, which tries to defend the evil weed in the United States?
