Proceeding contribution from Lord Patel (Crossbench) 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, my name is on the amendment, which I strongly support. I see no reason why we carry on with vending machines that dispense cigarettes to children. The film that the noble Lord, Lord Faulkner, mentioned is compulsive viewing, showing two children so easily obtaining cigarettes from vending machines near the Houses of Parliament.
