Health Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Mike Penning (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 12 October 2009. It occurred during Debate on bills on Health Bill [Lords].
My hon. Friend’s point is absolutely crucial. Those store owners do not know exactly how much the measure will cost them, because until this morning, we had no idea what was going on. If a shop sells cigarettes to an under-age child, it should be warned, then it should receive a written warning, then it should be three strikes and out. Local government already has those powers. That process happens in some parts of the country, but it should be enforced throughout the country.
