Member for South Cambridgeshire (Mr. Lansley) may say, "Oh no, he's being partisan", but I was here year after year, in debate after debate, for Queen's Speech after Queen's Speech, when Conservative Ministers refused to take action. Consequently, thousands of unnecessary deaths and illness occurred in the defence of the tobacco industry.
