Proceeding contribution from Lord Laird (Crossbench) 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]
Coming from Northern Ireland, I am pleased to say that earlier this week the Assembly there passed a motion, supported by all parties, to adopt the non-display of tobacco and its prices at the first available opportunity. It is interesting to note that, probably because of the proximity of the Irish Republic to Northern Ireland, we believe that our thinking on this issue is ahead of the rest of the kingdom. It is interesting to note that among the groups that support the ban—all the political parties do—are the retailers. The retailers in Northern Ireland have come to terms with this; why would they be different in any other part of the kingdom?
