Proceeding contribution from Earl Howe (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 15 May 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Health Bill.
Health Bill
If there is no plan to raise the age to 21 and if the age limit of 18 is the only proposition on which the public will be consulted, then I believe that an amendment such as this should be seriously considered by the Government. If we were to reach the stage of even contemplating restricting the sale of a legal product above the age of 18, we would be justified in calling for primary legislation. To do that by secondary legislation would be a retrograde step. I put that to the Minister for his consideration.
