May I ask the noble Lord, Lord Henley, for a little clarification? Proposed new subsection (2) states that, "““subsection (1) does not apply where the individual buys or attempts to buy the tobacco or cigarette papers at the request of … a constable, or … a weights and measures inspector””."
Does that mean that a constable or a weights and measures inspector may ask a child to go into a shop and buy cigarettes or tobacco papers in order for him to see whether he can catch the shopkeeper out selling them?
