My Lords, I am grateful to my noble friend for that Answer. Does he agree that Britain’s policy for some years now of having a high rate of duty on cigarettes—probably higher than most other EU countries—has been based more on health considerations than on fiscal considerations? Does he further agree that the import of large quantities of cigarettes from the EU, without the ability of the Customs people to stop it, is damaging to health and is undermining the Government’s sensible policies on trying to reduce the level of smoking? Ought we not, as a country, approach the EU and say "Health is not a matter for Brussels; fiscal matters may be", and suggest that it should look again at the movement of cigarettes into this country?
