Health Bill [HL]

Proceeding contribution from Lord Laird (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 9 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on bills and Committee proceeding on Health Bill [HL].
While not wishing to elongate this debate, I want to put the record right. At col. GC 375 the noble Lord, Lord Stoddart, said that, "Northern Ireland is different". The issue is simple: do we or do we not wish the display clause to go through? Do we or do we not wish to take what happened in Northern Ireland as an example? It is not a case of talking about Canada or Iceland. Northern Ireland is mentioned in the Bill as an example of how to handle smoking; let us use it.
