Proceeding contribution from Baroness O'Cathain (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 9 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Health Bill [HL].


Health Bill [HL]

I thank the noble Lord for giving way. I want to ask one question. This statistic of 80,000 jobs depending on tobacco has already been bounced around this Room. In fact, 5,000 jobs depend on tobacco, and 80,000 jobs are in the sector of retailing that sells tobacco along with about 20,000 other product lines.
