Health Bill [HL]

Proceeding contribution from Baroness Thornton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 5 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on bills and Committee proceeding on Health Bill [HL].
I think that I have given a reasonable explanation. We intend to consult and are indeed in discussion with the Association of Independent Tobacco Specialists. We want to be sure that the prohibition of tobacco advertising intended to protect children and young people from the promotion of smoking is comprehensive. Therefore, we need to consider the regime that covers independent tobacco specialists, but we are doing that in consultation with them. The clause would still allow advertising outside of their shops.
