Proceeding contribution from Lord Cotter (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 6 May 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health Bill [HL].


Health Bill [HL]

My Lords, those of us who are very concerned about children who smoke do not feel convinced about removing displays. What does she say about a matter raised in the debate—cigarettes that are smuggled into the country, which we believe are the real source of the problem? Will she deal with the issue of illegal sales of cigarettes over the counter and the lack of severe penalties?
