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


Health Bill [Lords]

Was the Minister as shocked as I was by the deliberate exaggeration of the costs that we heard from the Opposition early on in the debate? To put a few doors on displays and flaps on shelves surely costs only £100 or £200. We have heard estimates of £10,000 or £1,800. Those figures are designed to frighten newsagents and others. It cannot be true, and I hope that she will lance that particular lie.
