Health Bill

: I draw my hon. Friend’s attention to the initiative undertaken recently by smoke-free Bristol. The city is next to south Gloucestershire. It found that only 12 per cent. of people in the Henleaze ward in my constituency smoke. However, just a quarter of a mile away in the Southmead ward in the constituency of the hon. Member for Bristol, North-West (Dr. Naysmith), smoking is at nearly 50 per cent. Those health inequalities, in a relatively small area, will be perpetuated and expanded if the Bill goes through.
