Proceeding contribution from Lord Stoddart of Swindon (Independent Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 24 April 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Health Bill.


Health Bill

I have not finished. I shall let the noble Baroness in very shortly, but I wish to make a personal point about myself. I was born in a mining area in the Rhondda Valley. My father smoked, my mother smoked and my step-grandfather smoked—they smoked like chimneys—and yet I am still here, and I shall be 80 next week. So it does not kill everyone prematurely, does it? I apologise to the noble Baroness. We long to hear from her now.
