Proceeding contribution from Earl Howe (Conservative) 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]

This has been a useful short debate. I am grateful to the noble Baroness for her Answer although I share the scepticism of the noble Lord, Lord Stoddart, as we are dealing with a very small number of outlets. I say to the noble Earl, Lord Listowel, that we are not dealing with newsagents in this part of the Bill but with specialist tobacconists, which comprise a very different sort of outlet. I shall read the noble Baroness’s reply in Hansard before deciding what more should be done about the clause. However, in the interests of expedition, it is time to move on. Clause 18 agreed.
