Proceeding contribution from Barry Sheerman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 14 February 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health Bill.


Health Bill

My right hon. Friend and I have been companions in arms on the matter for a long time and have been called a lot of names—I suppose that ““puritans”” was one of the nicest. Hon. Members have called the Bill a ban on smoking. It is not a ban on smoking, but a line in the sand that says that we will from now start a new culture in our country in which people realise that smoking kills them, or seriously affects their health.
