Health Bill

Proceeding contribution from Martin Horwood (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 29 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bills on Health Bill.
: I thank the hon. Gentleman—my neighbour—for giving way. I am sure that he is right about what a wonderful establishment the pub at Twyning is, but he will surely accept that Twyning is not typical of either of our constituencies. We share a primary care trust. The difference in life expectancy between the most and the least affluent areas is eight years, which is considerable. A large part of that health inequality is due to smoking. The Bill in its present form aims to deal with it partially; we would deal with it completely.
