Proceeding contribution from Lord Stoddart of Swindon (Independent Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 5 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Health Bill [HL].
Health Bill [HL]
We are talking about 50 shops. How many children will see these advertisements, or whatever they may be, in those 50 shops? Where are they? I do not know how many towns there are in the country. There must be hundreds, if not thousands, if you include hamlets and villages. I do not know why the Government are putting further burdens on specialist tobacconists—they are already covered by the law anyway—through a clause in a health Act. I simply do not know what the Government are about. I hope that they will agree to take the measure back and have another look at it.
