Proceeding contribution from Baroness Howarth of Breckland (Crossbench) 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, too, support the amendment. I always find it slightly illogical that we have reached a point where there is no smoking in public places, yet still there are vending machines in hotels, restaurants and pubs where you cannot smoke what you have bought from those vending machines. That means that you will have to go out anyway, and there is usually a corner shop not that far away whose business could be enhanced.
