Proceeding contribution from Lord Palmer (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 15 May 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Health Bill.


Health Bill

I am disappointed that the Minister did not rise to the bait about the £2.2 billion that the Treasury forfeits every year. That is a vast amount of money, and I hoped that the amendment might have highlighted to his Treasury colleagues this very serious problem, about which the entire tobacco industry is extremely concerned. In the hope that the Minister will take the matter back to his Treasury colleagues, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. Clause 13 [Power to amend age for sale of tobacco etc]:
