I want to return to my hon. Friend’s earlier point about children. Tomorrow, in the House, I shall launch children’s cancer awareness month for CLIC Sergeant, and that is an important issue. However, I want to raise exemptions on behalf of a company in my constituency. Does my hon. Friend agree that there should be an exemption under clause 3 for certain workplaces involved in the tobacco trade? A business in my constituency, Hunters and Frankau, is a specialist importer of cigars, but under the Bill, it will not be able to test its products on its premises. The business is located in one of Britain’s most deprived wards. [Interruption.] Labour Members may well talk among themselves, but there was a majority for the governing party of only three votes in that ward. That company also imports products from some of the world’s most deprived countries, including Cuba. Is it not therefore unreasonable that it should be banned from testing its products on site?
