Proceeding contribution from Philip Davies (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 12 October 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health Bill [Lords].
Health Bill [Lords]
My hon. Friend is typically making a powerful case. I was a retailer for 12 years before entering Parliament, and I can tell him that tobacco is not an impulse purchase in the way that cream cakes are, yet the Government are treating them the same way. People walk past cream cakes and think, "Oh, I might try one of them, they look quite nice," but they do not do the same with tobacco. Tobacco is not an impulse purchase, so does he agree that it should not be treated as such?
