Proceeding contribution from Baroness Tonge (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 11 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Health Bill [HL].


Health Bill [HL]

From my own experience and my experience of young people, there is no question in my mind that unattractive or plain packaging, from which you would be unable to distinguish what brand you were smoking, would discourage young people. They would not bother with it so much, and I want to reinforce what has already been said.
