Health Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Andy Slaughter (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 12 October 2009. It occurred during Debate on bills on Health Bill [Lords].
Let us have an argument about process because there is no substance. I am listening to the hon. Gentleman. If he is right that there is no argument about tobacco being an impulse purchase, why is he so bothered about display at point of sale being banned? The evidence is that the tobacco companies take great comfort from the displays and the advertising they do at point of sale, and in the fact that it influences young people. If he believes that the measure would damage the retail trade, why does he not address that point?
