Health Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Lembit Opik (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 12 October 2009. It occurred during Debate on bills on Health Bill [Lords].
On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. I have waited until now to draw your attention to the fact that there was no call for a vote on my amendment—amendment 16—and, indeed, I was not called to speak to it. I seek your guidance on whether there is anything I can do to raise my concerns, given that the amendment represented the only compromise option on the table in terms of the display of cigarettes. I do not seek to challenge your authority, Madam Deputy Speaker, but I know that this decision was worth hundreds of millions of pounds to the newsagents. I am in your hands when I ask whether there is any step that I can take to ensure that the matter is reviewed.
