Health Bill

Proceeding contribution from John Bercow (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 14 February 2006. It occurred during Debate on bills on Health Bill.
No, I will not, because I know that other colleagues wish to contribute to the debate. The great benefit of the Bill for non-smokers is that the threat of a massively increased chance of contracting either heart disease or lung cancer has been removed. This is a good Bill. One of the best and most pithy speeches in support of it was made by my right hon. Friend the Member for North-West Hampshire (Sir George Young). Tories are in favour of public health as well, and I am glad that significant numbers of them demonstrated their commitment to it earlier. I am sure that, if tested, we should do so again.
