Health Bill

I understand that, but other people have mentioned Scotland. The Herald stated:"““Colin Cameron, who runs three Aberdeen city centre pubs, said business has probably picked up since the controversial ban . . . his claims were shared by the Campaign for Real Ale . . . Mr Cameron, who runs bars in Aberdeen and chairs the city’s excise licence holders association said: ‘Although I am a non-smoker, I still felt the trade would suffer in some way. That has not happened at all and I am not really sure why’””." There is more, but I shall not bore the Committee with it, save to say that the Scottish Licensed Trade Association will not comment on the impact on trade until three months have passed. We might be wise to behave similarly, as those of us who are involved in experiential research know that time is what tells us the answer.
