Health Bill [HL]

Proceeding contribution from Baroness Golding (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 11 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on bills and Committee proceeding on Health Bill [HL].
I thank the noble Baroness for that. I was not aware of that rule. Naturally, it would help people to see what I was talking about, but it does not stop me talking about it. Cigarette packs already carry warnings. Do the Government pay the companies to put warnings on the packs? Do the Government pay them to put horrendous illustrations on packs? Do the Government pay them to put the amount of tar in cigarettes on the packs? The companies do everything they should do. I strongly object to people in this Committee saying that the tobacco manufacturers are deliberately targeting underage smokers.
