Proceeding contribution from Caroline Flint (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 18 July 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health Bill.


Health Bill

In relation to that tortuous description, I shall look at the Hansard. Clearly, children under 16 are not allowed to smoke, so a potential offence would be committed in encouraging them to smoke. We have to grow up a bit about this. We must be realistic, and not forget that the few exemptions in the legislation sit alongside a real culture change in England, which is to be welcomed. Therefore, we must consider where we can have most effect, and the Bill amply provides for that.
