Proceeding contribution from Baroness Royall of Blaisdon (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 27 February 2007. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Smoke-free (Penalties and Discounted Amounts) Regulations 2007.


Smoke-free (Penalties and Discounted Amounts) Regulations 2007

I will certainly provide them for noble Lords who wish to have them. They will all be provided free, and are an important way of getting our messages across. The noble Lord suggested that £1 million for communication is very little. However, the £1 million is only for the age change. Another £9 million to10 million will be available for communicating the wider message. I realise that that will probably not go a long way for television advertisements, but it is a start. The £1 million is a significant budget for reaching a very specific group affected by the age change. We will look to target the age change messages in media used by the under-18 age group and retailers.
