Proceeding contribution from Steve Webb (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 14 February 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health Bill.
Health Bill
The hon. Gentleman is right in the sense that a total ban would have that effect—total bans have done so where they have been implemented—but that is not where I am coming from. Clearly, a total ban is much easier to enforce than a partial one. I want to return to the loophole point, because the profit-making issue has been raised. Again, I cannot understand the relevance to someone who works in a smoky environment of whether or not they are making more or less money from the sales than it is costing them to sell the goods. That seems to be a red herring.
