Proceeding contribution from Jim Shannon (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 17 April 2012. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Cigarette Packaging.


Cigarette Packaging

I congratulate the hon. Gentleman on bringing this matter to the Floor of the House this evening, as many people are concerned about it. Cancer Research UK has been working with its campaigning partners to explain why plain packs are needed and to rebut the myths circulated by the industry. Does he feel that plain packaging will reduce the number of deaths resulting from smoking? If it saves lives, the Government need to introduce plain packaging legislation as soon as possible.
