Proceeding contribution from Sandra Gidley (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 12 October 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health Bill [Lords].
Health Bill [Lords]
The difference is that tobacco is an adult product, so there is no reason not to display it. I shall come on to that issue later. There would not necessarily have to be a display ban here, as the new clause might make the display much less attractive by making the package less attractive. There are examples of packages designed to attract women, who may like the package because it is sparkly and attractive, so they want to get their hands on it. This links in with addiction, as these types of packet are attractive in a way that the plain packets are not.
