Proceeding contribution from Joan Walley (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 12 October 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health Bill [Lords].


Health Bill [Lords]

Is my hon. Friend aware of the concerns of the NHS in Stoke-on-Trent, particularly in respect of the very high number—the figure is well above the national average—of 11 to 16-year-olds who classify themselves as regular smokers? Does she agree that it is right that this Government should do all they can to reduce smoking, including among young people, and that we must go even further than the measures in the Bill?
