Proceeding contribution from Mike Penning (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 12 October 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health Bill [Lords].
Health Bill [Lords]
That is a sensible point. We did not force any votes in Committee because we wanted the House to have the opportunity to express a view and did not want to constrain the House. I said to the Minister in Committee that the evidence appeared to be selective. I understand where it came from; I have nothing but admiration for Cancer Research UK and Action on Smoking and Health—ASH. I have worked with them in the past and will continue to do that. However, it is a Minister’s job to examine all the evidence so that legislation is evidence-based.
