Health Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Andy Burnham (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 8 June 2009. It occurred during Debate on bills on Health Bill [Lords].
I am happy to give the hon. Gentleman that consideration, but what I ask in return is that if we give the evidence a thorough test in Committee and find that proof exists for certain action, the House should not then find other excuses not to take such action. Like me, I do not think that he is comfortable about the prevalence of smoking among young people in our constituencies. I think that there is more we can do to cut the number of young people smoking, and if that can be done, the effects on their standard of health will be huge. We must take this important issue incredibly seriously.
