I am sorry to interrupt the noble Lord. In the survey to which he referred, the children were asked where they "usually" purchased and where they "often" purchased their cigarettes. They were given a choice of 14 locations. The total number of answers to those questions amounted to 227 per cent, because inevitably some people gave more than one answer to some questions. So, if my maths are correct, adjusting downwards to 100 per cent the gross figure of 17 per cent would become 7.5 per cent. Furthermore, the noble Lord keeps referring to the word "usually" but the word on the questionnaire was "often". I think that we should be accurate in relation to these surveys.
